The Trump administration wants to greatly expand the development and use of advanced artificial intelligence, including rolling back environmental rules to spur building of power-thirsty data centers and punishing states that attempt to regulate AI on their own.
...
“To win the AI race, the U.S. must lead in innovation, infrastructure, and global partnerships,” AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks said in a statement. “At the same time, we must center American workers and avoid Orwellian uses of AI. This Action Plan provides a roadmap for doing that.”
We could be in big trouble.

Democratic State Senator
Democratic State Senator Heidi Campbell (Nashiville) decided to test AI using ChatGPT. She wanted to know "What Does a MAGA Newsfeed Look Like?"
She asked specifically, "If I am a MAGA person, how do I see our country? What does the MAGA newsfeed make the world look like to me?"
She received quite a long response. Interesting. She did a follow-up for "HOW MAGA VIEWS THE COUNTRY vs. HOW NON-MAGA AMERICANS SEE IT."
Not sure I care what AI thinks, but a tad interesting. I suppose we must stay aware of what AI thinks the MAGAs are doing, or not.
