Stop giving broadband funds globally, it's just squandered, it needs to be manually voted on and approved per project.

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.
Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.
So how much did this cost?
False, nobody can ever lose respect for Ted Cruz. There's none to lose.
It's Biden's fault.
Of course. Also, thanks Obama!
Don’t forget to blame dei and Hillary’s emails!
Damn those buttery males!
Probably doesn't care, already made his paycheck after all
Was Ted the 1 vote or was he in Cancun for the roll call?
"i like ted cruz more than most of my other colleagues like ted cruz and i hate ted cruz"
This is not good news, because it was up to debate.
Efit: well, ok, it was Ted Cruz after all.
Some nuance I read recently: The argument from above is basically that they want Ai research to continue as it has national security value. Therefore, any limitations or regulations to AI research should only happen on a federal level.
The idea is that all states should share the same playing field so that any researchers do not have to treat states differently.
No, that's the rationalization. They admin wants to use palantir to collect data on American citizens, including giving ICE mobile camera installations to do face tracking. They want to do a 1984, and they don't want any speed bumps from the states
Also, AI companies gave Trump money and there's talk of restricting their power/water access to data centers to prioritize the people living nearby
I don’t buy it.
A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.
In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.
Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.
i honestly don't give af about states that like ai fuck them. ai should be abolished everywhere.
