Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn't Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport Ted Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!
After all the shit you're giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He's a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he's your creation.
“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz. I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.
His father owns an oil company in Canada.
He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
He attended Harvard University and Princeton
His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs
This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.
You have to remember it's not about facts, it's about feelings. As I always say, we're all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.
And how does anyone vote for something that's 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that's not this.
I don't think he'd won his election; I also think it was a local election, rather than a federal one? But, I'll admit, I hadn't been following his race very closely.
States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it's wrong to allow something in one state, it'd be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn't. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
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
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.
