When I think "vast new sources of energy for ai", my mind immediately goes to Coal Power!

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 don't think a term yet exists for the practice of putting your name all over documents and media with such frequency that cleanup during following administrations takes several years, undermining and delegitimizing the new administration for your followers in the process.

Some kind of sick soft power move that I expect we will be seeing a lot more of.

It was the left and DEI until recently. The more things change the more they stay the same?

Yep, remember asking in previous US administration and AIs like Gemini how many genders there are or to generate pictures of white Europeans. People forgot too quickly ho big of a no-no that was and now they seethe when the same speech censorship practices they approved of are used against their talking points. What I learned was that everyone's definition of censorship was: "everyone who disagrees with me".

The American Healthcare is so broken already that further breakage could be seen as an improvement.

A lot of people are about to find out with this admin, how things that were certainly imperfect can be so much worse.

Building things is tough; tearing them down is relatively easy.

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 ?

Tariffs obviously /s

I thought it was funny.

American Healthcare's "brokenness" involves massive bureaucracy, gate-keeping and processes that pressure providers to limit resources. But it does provide necessary things to people. A system that reduced the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment could still cost many lives.

The most important thing here IMHO is the strong stance taken towards open source and open weight AI models. This stance puts the US government at odds with some other regulatory initiatives like the EU AI Act (which doesn't outlaw open weight models and does have some exemptions below 10²⁵ FLOPS, but still places a fairly daunting regulatory burden on decentralized open projects).

I don't know if this counts as amazing optimism or just straight up blinders if that's your takeaway compared to the emphasis placed on non-renewable energy and government enforced ideology.

For example, today they defunded a critical transmission line in order to block renewable power from getting to people who need it: https://www.energy.gov/articles/department-energy-terminates...

Welcome to our pitch for DenyBot.ai Our product automates a lot of the repetitive tasks for health insurance companies and increases reliability of responses and profit margins.

If there's one thing I'm concerned about, it's the profit margin of health insurance companies.

I think that's the joke
