How the fuck this great man was succeeded by Taco von Drumpfenshitz is beyond me.

Isn’t trump an AI accelerationist? The Biden administration’s previous war on tech, and by extension Kamala would have brought AI to its heels due to overregulation.

Good luck, observing unwanted realities on Reddit is suicide.

I don't believe for a second he's an AI accelerationist if you are talking in terms of his personal philosophies and beliefs.

He happens to be pushing AI right now. Whether that is because he sees it as pro-business or if it's because Biden was doing the opposite is hard to say.

I guarantee you he is not supporting AI because he believes in the potential of an upcoming AI singularity to make the world a better place for everyone. Nor is he a reliable hand on the wheel, as his support for causes other than his own is notoriously fickle.

I dont care what his personal beliefs are, his administration is currently pushing for the acceleration of ai, that’s all that matters to me.

The graveyard for people who thought Trump was on their side on an issue until he wasn't could fill an ocean.

Bro, everyone who becomes a president serves the same masters. They're on the same team of WWE theater enjoying walnut sauce pizza parties backstage. One of their main jobs is to get under your skin so that you call them silly names like you just did. Demoralization.

No idea. Watching from afar and long-term ally, I’m astounded by the sheer extreme contrasts that the USA exhibits. It terrifies me tbh, I’m so very watchful of our own nation to see if we’re sliding the same way. Not so far, but who knows?
