I'm surprised usually Hawley is pro running

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

This is running. It's running away from competition.

Awesome, so on top of all the other crap, like a economy that is going off a cliff, the US wants to actually get further behind on AI, just so that assman van make a few extra dollars

I was playing this whole thing out in my head, and trying to justify the confidence of Trump and pals with such seemingly stupid moves. The only thing I can think of is that they believe that the money they will save (steal) from the government cuts, etc, will make up for the huge losses from the tariffs. And then they would have to believe that their internal AI development is at a point where they can overpower every other nation on earth, and so they don't need those international relations anymore. I mean, technically every single Tesla in the world is a camera for Elon, and a huge percentage of internet traffic goes through US servers.

But then I think, even if they do have all of these advantages, China seems to be catching up pretty quickly, is allied with over 50% of the planet through BRICS, has protected itself from their technological expansion. This is not even including that most other countries in the world will probably want to distance themselves from the US if this keeps up.

Either I'm in denial, or it really is just Trump and Elon are being blinded by their overinflated egos.

There's always the worst possible option: they're true believers. They genuinely believe the rest of the world is freeloading on the US, and that (atlas) shrugging them off will make everyone else collapse.

This would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.

This is designed to stop businesses to use locally deployed models and be forced to deploy cloud services by any of the cocksuckers that sat frontlins in the inauguration.

[–] AsyncTheVoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just try to stop me. Or anyone for that matter.

The "does it connect to the wifi" mfers came up with this one I'm sure.

[–] artificialfish@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly.

We will just put Trump porn on the whitehouse.gov site to show you how little control America has over its digital economy.
