It's over.

With one important difference, this reminds me of the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act, which established a national speed limit of 55 MPH. States had to either adopt a state speed limit of 55 MPH, or else lose out on funding, i.e. get punished.

Of course, that was a law enacted by Congress, not an Executive order. I guess, traditionally, they say that for first quarter millennium of America, Congress held the purse strings because some inky piece of paper said they were supposed to, as if Congress could ever handle that much responsibility! Can you imagine?! Anyway, we've decided Fuck That Tradition, let's try something new and put a thieving tool in charge of the purse.

The executive Branch executes the laws the Legislative Branch votes into power. The president has no power to make laws except as granted by Congress.

Congress has granted the executive branch a bunch of power, AI is new and Congress has not granted the President much powers over it.

Whether the current Supreme Court will obey the intention of the Constitution or Congress is another issue.

Hahahahaha you think nationalists care about people other than themselves hahahhahahahahhahaha

You mean unlike a congressional parasite, or a PPP parasite, or a CEO parasite?

Use preview.

No, every day now.

More people fail every day.

Unsustainable means it fails eventually, not on a specific day.

I still can't get ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to write a decent story or do an engineering design beyond basic complexity. They're all improving, but they're best thought of as brain-storming aids rather than actual development tools.

"the proper solution is obviously to have a formal, controlled, actually viable work visa system for economic migrants"

Yes, we should definitely formalize and legalize our tampering with other countries to produce cheap labor we can abuse.

Wait, what?

My memories of college include feeling lucky if I had enough quarters to do laundry!

Bob? Is that Seymore's brother?

The only defense against a bad AI is a good AI. There has always been an arms race between the hackers and the security consultants; AI just accelerates the pace. Ultimately, we will have to rely on AI to defend us from AI. Better get to training those paranoia AIs, boys... Aren't we already at the point that we need to use an AI to detect AI-generated content?

Like, would you consider your girlfriend having 38% fewer hallucinations to be a big win? (I once had a girlfriend call me up while she was experiencing delirium tremens and describe to me how demons were raping her mom. I told her she was hallucinating. She insisted it was real, she could see it!)

That's not actually the flex you think it is...
