An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC:
> The Trump administration on Friday [1]issued (PDF) a legislative framework for a single national policy on artificial intelligence, aiming to create uniform safety and security guardrails around the nascent technology while [2]preempting states from enacting their own AI rules . The six-pronged outline broadly proposes a slew of regulations on AI products and infrastructure, ranging from implementing new child-safety rules to standardizing the permitting and energy use of AI data centers. It also calls on Congress to address thorny issues surrounding intellectual-property rights and craft rules "preventing AI systems from being used to silence or censor lawful political expression or dissent."
>
> The administration said in an [3]official release that it wants to work with Congress "in the coming months" to convert its framework into a bill that President Donald Trump can sign. The White House wants to codify the framework into law "this year" and believes it can generate bipartisan support, Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday evening. That won't be easy in a deeply divided Congress where Republicans hold thin and often fractious majorities, and where Trump has already urged GOP lawmakers to prioritize his controversial voter-ID bill above all else ahead of the November midterms.

What counts as 'prevention'? (Score:3)

Does a DoS attack count as prevention?
Shannon-Hartley's theory-- Capacity Limit: As noise approaches infinity relative to signal, capacity approaches zero, meaning reliable communication becomes impossible without increasing power.
So, DoS attacks effectively prevent communication.
Is AI slop a DoS attack? It sure as heck feels that way...

Meaning no interfering with dangerous and antidemocratic expression from the right.
On the other hand AI providers MUST enable mass surveillance of American citizens and use of AI for autonomous weapons and targeting.
So much for state's rights. (Score:4, Interesting)
The thing I don't get about Republican voters, the politically aware of ones not the ones who are just clueless and trying to make it through one more day, the thing I don't get about them is they know that the party they support lies constantly about every single principle day claim to have. I mean Christ Donald Trump literally said out loud that he's going to hell...
And I get all politicians lie and blah blah blah but if they're going to sit there and lie to you about fundamental principles what makes you think that they're going to not fuck you over? What makes you think you're part of the club?

The lesser of two evils.
Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
I think the actual Christian bible has a few things to say about those though. Like:
"Abstain from all evil"
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil..."
and "And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just."
Yeah but they don't look at it like that (Score:2)
They fucking love Trump and they fucking love the Republican party. It's not like how the progressives or the left wing will hold their nose to vote for centrists as a lesser of two evils. Every single right winger I have ever known firmly believed that Trump was their man and was going to take care of them.

Ya, but letting the states regulate this within their borders would interfere with Trump and his donors getting even richer, probably at our expense.
