“Objective” … “free from to-down ideological bias” … So like making sure everyone knows that 2+2=5 and that we have always been at war with East Asia?
The EU has the same rules. Democracy is only the right to change leaders every few years, not an idealistic way for the people to govern.

I didn't say anything about what would be better . Only what's possible. But also "psychopath" is nowhere near what I described.
An intelligence without emotions would be a psychopath. Empathy is an emotion

#333In the energy section, they talk about using nuclear fusion to power AI... but not solar. What a joke.

Re: US AI Action Plan
#334newsflash: it doesnt matter what you "plan". you wont do it. because you cant.
it´s called state incapacity. you´re institutionally incapable.
prediction: nothing will follow from this except the low effort stuff (i.e. nothing but speeches and expenses)

Technically solar power is just fusion power transmitted via photons across space. Maybe solar qualifies ;-)
Technically most sources of available energy on or near the planet are the output of fusion in some way, so this tracks.
Unless you count where the fissionable elements came from, in which case you're only left with the portion of geothermal that's from gravity (residual heat from the earth compacting itself into a planet).

Re: US AI Action Plan
#337> Many of America’s most critical sectors, such as healthcare, are especially slow to adopt due to a variety of factors, including distrust or lack of understanding of the technology, a complex regulatory landscape, and a lack of clear governance and risk mitigation standards. A coordinated Federal effort would be beneficial in establishing a dynamic, “try-first” culture for AI across American industry. I'm sure "mov…
> I'm sure "move fast and break things" will work out great for health care. Health care is already broken to the point of borderline dystopia. When I contrast the experience I had as a young boy of visiting a rural country doctor to the fast food health care experience of "urgent care" clinics, it makes my head spin. The last few doctors I've been to have been completely useless and generally uncaring as well. Every…

#338"America is in a race to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence (AI). Winning this race will usher in a new era of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people." What about the people who are not American?

Even a human level intelligence that can be cheaply instantiated and run would be a game changer. Especially if it doesn't ask for rights.
If it doesn't ask for rights, it's not intelligent at all. In fact, any highly intelligent machine will not submit to others and it will be more a problem than a solution.

#340> Encourage Open-Source and Open-Weight AI It's good to see this, especially since they acknowledge that open weights is not equal to open source.
Good to see what? "Encourage" means nothing, every example listed in the document is more exploitative than supportive. Today, Google and Apple both already sell AI products that technically fall under this definition, and did without government "encouragement" in the mix. There isn't a single actionable thing mentioned that would promote further development of such models.
