President Donald Trump is done waiting for Congress when it comes to blocking state AI regulations.
Trump said on Monday that he would sign an executive order aimed at ensuring that there’s only “One Rulebook” for AI in the US, saying that the technology will be “destroyed in its infancy” if companies have to comply with different regulations across all 50 states.
“We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “You can’t expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!”
It is not yet clear what shape the executive order will take, but a draft executive order seen by Business Insider last month would have directed the Department of Justice to sue states for having “onerous” AI laws.
One thing *is* clear: Trump is likely to provoke backlash from members of his own party if he follows through with this, as many Republicans have been eager to protect states’ rights when it comes to AI.
“Whatever the people paying me want is what I want.”

He’s welcome to try to figure out how to actually enforce that.
Wah wah Truth Social wank wah.

Trump is now promoting his new corrupt business- Truth AI.
I can’t understand why president is allowed to do business using his children’s name.
American laws and justice system are terribly flawed.

And when they ignore it, nothing happens for years, by which time the incoming real president will delete this and the tens of thousands of other pointless EOs that Trump wrote with his ghost president Miller.

Good thing executive orders aren’t laws and can’t dictate what states do.
All those fucking “sTaTeS’ RiGhTs!!!!11” “conservatives” are showing themselves for who they were all along:
Liars, charlatans, and without an ounce of integrity to the facades they cultivated.

Dear states,
Your rights end when money talks.

“President signs EO to destroy the working class because they bribed him.” There’s the correct heading.

States right’s matter when there’s a pandemic literally killing millions of people but they don’t matter when we have trillions of dollars invested in the next big pump and dump venture (AI).

I would bet money Trump couldn’t explain what an AI even is at a basic level.

Authoritarianism in America is financed by big tech; it only makes sense they’re going to be the one’s to run the future technocratic regime with musk, bezos, and zuckerberg as figureheads.

I know that this administration treats the Constitution as some kind of fancy toilet paper, but doesn’t this violate the Tenth Amendment?
hulkklogan on
that’s not really how this works
Unfortunately, some governors, like mine in Louisiana, will be all too eager to comply. This is especially true here since they’re building a brand new datacenter in north Louisiana.

Not how that works, ass hat.

States rights people are always so quiet when states rights are taken away. Almost as if states rights were always about the one thing we always ask them about, and they deny.

Literally not what Executive Orders do at all and wouldn’t actually be binding. It’s only his 5th year as president so I guess we can’t expect him to have this figured out quite yet.

traditionally small government is when the exec branch tells states they have to let private companies do what they want

Yeah, executive orders don’t work that way. It sounds more and more like Trumps ‘allies’ are feeding him meaningless activities like this while they pursue their own goals without oversight.

Neat, I guess.
EO’s aren’t law.
“Whatever the people paying me want is what I want.”
