"GOP sneaks decade-long AI regulation ban into spending bill", Unsettling implications for AI surveillance

Real ID and the X payment platform along with PP issuing th eUS Digital currency $DOGE. Wrong think on the internet and your gov ID takes a -10 damage hit and no longer gives access to to public buildings or allows spending your slave wage$doge at trendy establishments. God forbid you protest workers rights. Full blown frozen $doge until you complete reeducation camp on your vacation in Greenland.

What is the crazy part here is that none of this is even remotely out of the question. It is in fact what they are projecting.

This is their plan.

My plan is to find a high bridge. I’ve lived long enough to know I don’t want to suffer in this authoritarian hellscape.

Spread the word, comrade. These fascist have been saying Democrats wanted to control everyone my whole life, but it is just lies to shield themselves from the fact that is what they want to do. They complained for a decade about China's social rating. They used it as a cudgel to scare people away from Democrats. What they want to do is 10x worse, and no one is paying attention.

This is literally the worst thing to me. They're gaslighting and manipulative, and the right is eating it up.

Not from the US but here in the EU the new central bank digital currency on the basis of the Euro sounds precisely like the background for this control to be implemented.

Don’t they have similar things in China? You have a social score that can take hits and if it gets low enough you aren’t allowed to do certain things?

Half of Sand Hill Road backed Trump to block AI and crypto regulations and divert more business to their own startups. Marc Andreesen, Ben Horowitz, Jason Calacanis, and the entire Paypal Mafia are behind this.

Something you can say about a whole lot of bad stuff going on right now. He should be a household name. People need to be more aware of this psychopath and his plans.

No regulation on AI but we can’t use it to make porn? Come on now.

[-]

PsudoGravity@reddit

You can if this passes iirc? Though you might get done for the porn aspect, not the AI aspect idk

[-]

biggesthumb@reddit

Porn will be banned soon, so that's irrelevant lol

You know...of all the things...I think that might actually be the most likely to cause a riot lol

Here's a hypothetical.. USA and EU both regulate the fuck out of AI. China/Russia/Israel/whoever does not. What happens?

[-]

irrision@reddit

Nothing, it's just another dotcom bubble filled with hype to pump stock prices and shake down investors while AI companies continue to lose money. Very little real advancement has happened in the last 5 years in the field in reality.

ScoreMajor2042@reddit

Lol ok

If we have no connection to the net then AI should not have power over us

[-]

ScoreMajor2042@reddit

No connection to the net? AI currently accesses the internet. That's exactly my point though.. if say US and EU decline to give access to the Internet to their AIs but then another state gives access to theirs.. that puts the US and EU at greater risk.

[-]

AlfalfaHealthy6683@reddit

What would AI be used for if we were not tied to the net? It could not surveil us, central digital currency would not exist, DOGE could not have damaged the fed, etc I understand that this suggestion is extreme yet it is an actual attempt to start thinking outside of the net box

Not sure if this is a good article

Countries WILL give AI control to combat platforms because they will need to in order to compete. Ideally, sure.. if you could prevent it from happening. But that's not going to happen before it's too late (assuming AGI leads to ASI, etc)

Look up AlphaGo/zero and look up move.. 37? They literally thought it was malfunctioning because they couldn't understand the strategy. You can't think up the ways to control these things if super intelligence is achieved.

I mean, maybe.. maybe AI hits it's limits soon or any other scenario plays out but I don't think what you're suggesting is possible/realistic so.. then what?

From what I've read elsewhere, they're basically being told that the race for the best AI is the race for nukes 2.0. It sucks, but we're locked in to pushing it as far and as fast as possible.

Slowing it at all means you risk being fully subjugated by whoever gets there first.

[-]

irrision@reddit

This is all broligarch conspiracy theory. Sounds exactly like something Peter Thiel would say too so you know it's a psychopath billionaire idea.

[-]

PrepperBoi@reddit

This is a good comparison.

Whoever gets the strongest AI will easily overtake another countries cyber defenses.

[-]

ack4@reddit

also physical defenses

Put us out of our fucking misery already… and save Mother from our destruction… She’s much more important than humanity…

AlfalfaHealthy6683@reddit

And whoever gets there first is beholden to no existing country

ingen-eer@reddit

How about those states rights?

[-]

Inevitable_Bit_1203@reddit

How does this even affect the budget? It should get wiped as not eligible to be in the bill… I would think

raventhrowaway666@reddit

I'm glad people are finally realizing that the only goal for the Republicans is to hurt and destroy America as much as possible. Really gotta twist that knife that's already in the wound just because.

I wonder if this could be used even to prevent legislation that would try to reduce power or water consumption if it is impacting a municipality enough that people demand a fix. It seems like the wording isn't broad enough, but you never know when there are lawyers with infinite money...
