"Obviously, the great contradistinction here is Europe, where, you know, it's like people have given up, and we โ€” I really hope that turns around in Europe," he added.

Europe is giving up by having ethical, human focused, and probably open source AI/and not firing all their scientists and researchers? Meanwhile the GOP is literally trying to sneak language into a spending bill banning regulation for a decade?

What a pizza shit.

I'm not saying I believe its important, the president believes it's important bc Thiel has been funding him and making policy decisions since his first term, most people (myself included) just didn't notice it until the second one.

The first time, he tried to promote AI deregulation while insisting we would retain American values that helped us be better than China's surveillance state, but then Trump lost power and Thiel lost 4 years of progress at the global AI table because of those values (democracy and the constitution). Now that he's gotten his seat back he's not going to risk ever letting it go. IF he ever intended to try to maintain or respect those values before, he certainly doesn't now.

That is why the truth behind Trump/JD Vance/Adrian Vermeule's argument for a constitutional interpretation of strong executive authority needs to be made loud and clear.

I cannot comprehend how anyone who is not already a billionaire could be dumb enough to support this, but let's just be honest about what you're supporting.
