This is suicide:

> We need to build and maintain vast AI infrastructure and the energy to power it. To do that, we will continue to reject radical climate dogma and bureaucratic red tape, as the Administration has done since Inauguration Day. Simply put, we need to “Build, Baby, Build!”

This is how you know these people are not serious:

> Prioritize the interconnection of reliable, dispatchable power sources as quickly as possible and embrace new energy generation sources at the technological frontier (e.g., enhanced geothermal, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion). Reform power markets to align financial incentives with the goal of grid stability, ensuring that investment in power generation reflects the system’s needs.

None of these are "dispatchable power sources." Grid-scale batteries, for which technology and raw materials are abundant in the United States, are dispatchable power sources, and are, for some reason, not mentioned here.

What they will actually do is eviscerate regulations to allow for more construction of natural gas power plants, but they won't mention that here, because any sane person would immediately identify that as a terrible idea.

I read the PDF. The "Remove Red Tape and Onerous Regulation Recommended Policy Actions" don't cite to any specific existing regulations. It just references executive orders that vaguely demand any such regulations be eliminated. So it bears repeating: what red tape ?

Given that this extends to the power plants for AI data centers, the question is have you tried to make a nuclear or coal power plant any time in the past decade? I haven't, personally, but I hear there's a lot.

"Ensure that Frontier AI Protects Free Speech and American Values AI systems will play a profound role in how we educate our children, do our jobs, and consume media. It is essential that these systems be built from the ground up with freedom of speech and expression in mind, and that U.S. government policy does not interfere with that objective. We must ensure that free speech flourishes in the era of AI and that AI procured by the Federal government objectively reflects truth rather than social engineering agendas."

It seems that everywhere free speech is mentioned today, the intent is to do the exactly opposite....

Quick exercise: just scrolling down, count how many pictures don't highlight one man front and center. https://www.ai.gov/ Then click "fact sheets", "remarks", and "articles". He's everywhere. That's how unbiased this is going to be. (hint, the answer is one)

I'm gonna ignore talking amount the abysmal current US administration and just share my immediate experience of using this site because it was funny to me: - I open the site in android mobile: "swwwoooooosh" a big slow animation reveals the text - After reading the the text I think I'll take a look at the home page: "swwooooooosh" the same animation rolls again as I load a very strange full screen image of Trump in b…

Seeing as there are only four items in the menu, it seems if you open the menu and want to get back to the page you were already on, you're supposed to just click the title of the page you were on.

The animations are a bit much. The scrolling horizontal rules repeating the words "AMERICA'S AI ACTION PLAN" underneath each "Pillar" header were confusing for a brief moment.
