Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money
Oh I just assumed that every Conservative jerks off to kids
Get some receipts and that will be a start.
Receipts you say?
We're at 56 pages of this now for a nice round count of 1400 charges
So far as I am aware all of these are publicly searchable court cases
Alright, now we just need the main stream media to run the story.
I mean with all the zealotry against drag shows they should be ready to run with this one right?
You'd think so, right?
A 99-1 vote to drop the anti AI regulation is hardly the government voting against. The Senate smashed that shit hard and fast.
Expecting people to know about that 99-1 vote might be misplaced optimism, since it hasn't been made into a meme yet.
especially that ~~Abbot~~ Ted Cruz, who brought this one up, voted against it in the end, which is pretty confusing for an european tbh
e: i mean that it's memeworthy lol
I'm confused - by Abbot do you mean Gov. Abbott of Texas, and are we talking about the same issue? Cuz the 99-1 vote was about a senate bill regarding AI. Greg Abbott can't vote on senate bills, and there's no senator named Abbot.
aaah i misremembered, it was Ted Cruz, oops :-D

In the case of US govt, the AI part of the bill they voted against was the part that blocked regulations on AI for a period of 10 years.
In case that wasn't clear, the US govt voted in favor of regulating AI. 99-1.
Even in countries a lot less corrupt than the US this is an issue.
Especially because the US government/companies doesn't do jack shit for people
