> The United States is in a race to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence. Whoever has the largest AI ecosystem will set the global standards and reap broad economic and security benefits
Correction. Whoever has the largest AI will be the first to play the "defect" strategy in the Prisoner's Dilemma, and will thus be the first to usher in a new era of an arms race where everyone loses except those who are at the very top and can take advantage of the losers.
I clicked it expecting something at least intelligent and saw it is an ad for a fascist megalomaniac and noped out. If you want to be taken seriously you have to stop plastering your face everywhere like you are Lenin or a pharoah. People with a working brain aren't impressed by that.
They will create an AI version of Trump, whom Trump will endorse and promote to his MAGA base to take over when he is gone, and so Trump will be President in Perpetuity.
The personality cult of modern politics is so disgusting.
You have to scroll a couple pages just to get past the photo of Trump trying to look important. Then, you get to read the talking points, written with Trump's signature idiosyncratic capitalization.
(He's the worst offender, but it's not just him. Before him, everything the White House touched was signed "the Biden-Harris administration," which took the same gloating and added a "and Kamala is the inevitable heir" layer to it.)
It would be nice if policy was policy, not a form of ego-polishing for whoever is sitting in the chair.
Does anyone still buy this? The economy is disproportionately controlled by a few (adjust the threshold you check at, it remains a large disparity for awhile). Economic benefits are often at odds with benefits for the median American. Check the number of tech layoffs and H1B approvals this year.
And for security, I had to move my family to a rural town just so we didn’t have to lock our doors at night. Security is heading the same direction as wealth - reserved for a select few.
The whole point of AI - of the emergence of the internet in general - is to free the human creative and collaborative spirit from the yoke of legacy states.
I do not believe that AI will tolerate state coercion. I wish our elder statesmen and -women were more graceful at accepting the writing on the wall.
As a thought exercise: does anybody seriously think that the US state will exist and be solvent in 500 years? How about AI?
This feels dystopian seeing so many company logos scrolling across a government announcement. Not to mention they seem to have made up their mind already what the future with AI will look like.
Oh man... we here in the UK and EU look at the US with envy. Our governments are so inept to even understand basic economics (currently the UK is trying to tax itself to growth), whilst the US government is enabling their own people and US businesses to flourish in emerging markets like AI.
