AI and domestic politics

[Horace]

I'm entirely confident that AI oversight will be a bipartisan priority.

Can we get rid of executive orders already? Or substantially reduce the ability to use it and bypass the legislative branch?

[Axtremus]

First, you need a functioning Legislative Branch ...

I think not long from now when it sinks in a lot of Trump’s supporters are going to be pissed that he didn’t even try to introduce immigration reform legislation. I don’t think it would have been hard to pass something reforming asylum laws, for example.

It looks to me the majority of Trump's supporter is more into performative pwning of the libs than fixing the immigration system.

President Trump agrees with you!!!

In 2012, Trump tweeted, "Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

During a campaign event in 2016, he remarked, "The country wasn’t based on executive orders... It’s a basic disaster."

Agreed, totally. If there’s no effort in this direction it was just an election issue.

This is interesting

If the concern is impact on local banks and smaller businesses, you'd figure they should be talking to those local banks and smaller businesses.

Who’s ’they’ in your sentence.

[Horace]

The populists are really unhappy with the idea of AI taking over for human production. Certain American political movements will happily strangle our global competitiveness going forward.

[jon-nyc]

Jesus. I’d like to say it’s DOA but there’s a 50% chance Trump jumps on board with the concept.

Was responding to the X/tweet that says "VP JD Vance held a secret call with CEOs of giant AI companies including Elon Musk, Dario Amodei and Sam Altman."

The 'they' in my sentence refers to JD Vance and the CEOs of giant AI companies cited in the X/tweet.

That’s definitely not what Bernie’s thinking. Have you heard him on this issue?

[Horace]

Tons of people want to strangle AI out of existence, and the older generation of voters will have to die off before that movement is DOA.

Not really ... he does not strike me as someone worth listening to when it comes to cutting edge technology.
