The Trump administration recently published “America’s AI Action Plan”. One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST’s AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias”.

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

    anyone affiliated w/ him

    Well, this is what I’m asking for, so I sure hope so.

    but it’s probably somewhere between Trump and Bush.

    So, keep in mind, republican voters are not upset with Trump because they’ve decided they no longer want a border wall. The architects of Project 2025 don’t need anything from Trump but political power, which they already have.

    The next election cycle, if it’s real, I do imagine will swing back, but it cannot just “swing back,” it needs to deal with the sickness plaguing the US. That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.

      That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.

      I disagree, and this just smacks of tribalism.

      The problem is people wanting to force others into their worldview, parties are just a tool to get that done. The real solution is ending the two party system so people can express themselves better, not to replace one problem with another.

        No, I will force nazis into my worldview, actually. They can come willingly, or we can beat them into submission like we did 80 years ago.

        What, actually, is wrong with you? Building alligator auschwitz does, in fact, make you a bad person—if you seriously disagree with this, then you and I are enemies.

          Yes, building the detention center is absolutely terrible. I hate everything about the recent changes WRT immigration, and I probably don’t even know the half of it.

          We’re a nation of immigrants, and we should absolutely be encouraging more legal immigration. In fact, my personal opinion is that we should make a new type of temporary “work seeking” visa where you’re given some time (say, 1 month) to find a job, and if you get a job, it automatically turns into a work authorization visa, with the stipulation that the employer must report when that job ends, at which point you have another month to find a new job before you have to leave. IMO, this completely solves the migrant worker issue, without needing to mess w/ quotes for longer-term visas. Those employers would also receive closer scrutiny to catch any illegal activity (i.e. shell companies employing cartels).

          However, associating it w/ the Holocaust is disgusting and again smacks of tribalism. Yes it’s a terrible facility, but AFAIK there’s zero overlap w/ what the Nazis did. Since it’s on US soil, they do have to follow US law in how they treat people, unlike Gitmo.

          nazis… we can beat them into submission

          If you actually think Republicans have much overlap w/ Nazis, then you’re delusional. It’s just like Republicans claiming Democrats are Marxists. The name calling isn’t productive and just cheapens what each of those terms mean.

          Yes, some people in the Republican camp court fascist policies, but by and large, they are not fascist. Call them out on actual policy issues and convince people to vote them out w/ logic, don’t just lean into rhetoric.

            You think that caging brown people “for no reason” is a disgusting comparison to the Holocaust?

            This is unreal. I didn’t see this conversation coming at all. You’re actually doing nazi apologia. You’re refusing to acknowledge the pressure building in your pipes only because the pipes haven’t burst yet. How many brown people do you want to die before you’re willing to concede this? Do we need to wait until the full 6 million?

            they do have to follow US law in how they treat people

            No. They don’t.

            • Neither Democrat congress members nor journalists are allowed to see what’s happening inside that camp. Rather, they are, legally, but they’re being prevented from doing so anyway.
            • The Democrats are weak and refuse to punish Republicans for anything. If there is no threat of punishment, they can just do whatever they want. Republicans have abused this weakness of Democrats like 5 billion times.
            • The Big Beautiful Bill includes a provision that judicial funds cannot be used to pursue rulings. This passed, so, if it can’t be repealed, this means it is illegal to use funds intended to punish criminals to seek punishment for Republicans breaking the law. This kills the law.

            Call them out on actual policy issues

            Call them out for being evil. Their policies are evil.

            If the majority of Republicans are not evil, as you say, then they should have no problem dropping the line. They can form a new party, and the current one can be dropped into a wastebin in hell.

              How many brown people do you want to die

              How many have or are likely to die due to this? That would obviously depend on the duration of detention, and I honestly don’t know much about that, but these people should have the right of due process since they’re on US soil (5th and 14th amendments). So they can’t just be incarcerated indefinitely (habeas corpus), they’d have to be tried or released in a timely fashion.

              The Holocaust differs in so many ways:

              • were largely labor camps, which later became extermination camps - as a detention facility, this means people are not convicted and therefore legally protected under the 13th amendment from forced labor; likewise, capital punishment only applies to those convicted
              • people taken w/o violating any actual crimes - the detention facility is for those suspected of immigration crimes
              • the intent was genocide - intent for detention facility is temporary holding until people can be tried or deported

              It’s not remotely the same thing, and comparing them is ridiculous rhetoric. Comparing everything the right does to Nazism and the Holocaust is intellectually dishonest, meant to convince someone to your side through emotional language instead of facts.

              If there are deaths, they’re going to be incidental to incarceration, as in people already in poor health dying due to added stress of incarceration or something, and not something directly done by the guards.

              Rather, they are, legally, but they’re being prevented from doing so anyway.

              And unfortunately, that’s something that’s going to have to be worked out in the courts. According to US law, they must be subject to audit to ensure Constitutional Law is being followed.

              Democrats are weak

              True, but I’m not sure what this has to do w/ anything.

              The Big Beautiful Bill includes a provision that judicial funds cannot be used to pursue rulings. This passed, so, if it can’t be repealed, this means it is illegal to use funds intended to punish criminals to seek punishment for Republicans breaking the law. This kills the law.

              If that’s accurate (I haven’t reviewed it), then that provision will likely be struck down by a court. You can’t just hamstring the branch of the government that decides whether law is constitutional and expect them to just roll over, even the conservative Supreme Court would very likely strike this down.

              If the majority of Republicans are not evil, as you say, then they should have no problem dropping the line.

              And they have been. Look at Trump’s approval rating. I live in a very red state, and he has a net negative approval rating here, which is absolutely bonkers. This will have an impact on the next couple elections, but it’s hard to tell what the actual results will be. But if Trump keeps pissing off his base, it could get very spicy indeed.

                • people taken w/o violating any actual crimes - the detention facility is for those suspected of immigration crimes

                Wow.

                You know, it’s no wonder you live in a red state; you’re still bought into the republican propoganda. I believe you that the “immigrants” rounded up into unmarked ICE vans will be tried fairly, and only the vile criminals among them will be deported to an El Salvador slave camp.

                • the intent was genocide - intent for detention facility is temporary holding until people can be tried or deported

                Deporting people en masse is genocide.

                even the conservative Supreme Court would very likely strike this down.

                The conservative justices are loyal to the Republican party. The Republican party does not want to be held accountable. What on earth gives you the idea they’ll want to strike this down?

                Look at Trump’s approval rating.

                His approval rating is only down among Republicans because his tariffs have been hurting them and not the brown people they voted to kill.

                They thought the white ethnostate Trump would usher in would make them lions among sheep, and they are only upset that they are among the sheep.

                —Not to mention, listen to any on-the-streets interviews with republican voters about their disapproval, fucking all of them say they’d vote for him again.

                it could get very spicy indeed.

                Absolutely beside myself at your cavalier attitude. I do hope your state gets everything it voted for.

                  deported to an El Salvador slave camp.

                  That’s the absolutely horrendous part, and you should be criticizing those camps. This detention center isn’t that.

                  Deporting people en masse is genocide.

                  That’s not true. This is what genocide means:

                  genocide: The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group.

                  Deportation is the national version of trespassing someone from a property. It’s not murder.

                  The conservative justices are loyal to the Republican party.

                  They’re really not. Their interests do often align, but that’s not because they’re taking orders from the GOP. If the GOP was actually able to tell them what to do, they’d side w/ Trump way more often.

                  they voted to kill

                  That’s not what they did.

                  They largely voted for protectionism (save our jobs/businesses/etc), and now they’re feeling the results of that.

                  Only a small subset of Republicans are actually racist. I’m sure the same is true among Democrats as well.

                  Absolutely beside myself at your cavalier attitude

                  Why? Because I refuse to jump on the Republican hate bandwagon? I’m not going to stoop to dangerous rhetoric to try to scare/shame people to my viewpoint.

                  I strongly disagree with Republicans on policy, but more importantly I see the two party system as the real problem here. Shilling one side over another just perpetuates that system and merely swings the pendulum the other way.

                  So no, I’m not going to buy into that nonsense. And my state is doing quite well, despite the best efforts of our legislature.
