The title of the post, as opposed to the title of the executive order, is very misleading: this executive order only applies to the AIs that are allowed to be procured and used by the federal government, not to all AI in general.
(Having said that, the underlying motivation behind it is still nonsense, just as it has been for all of the other executive orders.)
- Ah yes, that is calming. Because this regime has a reputation of restraint.
  
  If the objective of the administration had been to place restrictions on all AI in general, heedless of restraint, then it could have just as easily written an executive order which did that instead. However, that is not what they did.
  My intent is not to calm anyone, but merely to clarify. Honestly, I view this executive order as just being a relatively minor extension of previous (terrible) executive orders to say, "Oh, and this applies to AI too."
- lol .... if the AI race were a 100 meter sprint ... the US just entered the race with the rest of the world by first swinging a tire iron to their lead runner's knees.
- Does that slant big tech in that direction because they want to do business with the government? Every computer with copilot is compromised the second microsoft says we don't want to make 2

  Unfortunately, I agree that is a very fair concern.
Hey Trump! I’m trans and I’m still fucking here, you son of a bitch!
Not you, OP, you’re great and we’re thrilled to have you here.
- I’m trans too and I think my biggest takeaway from this EO is that they need to release the Epstein files
  
  I’m cisgender and I think my biggest takeaway from this EO is that they need to release the Epstein files
- Thank you.

- And you better stay around. Existence is resistance! ✊
Weren't they just pushing for no regulations of AI? Can't even be consistent!
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink
- I thought that was trying to have it be so that States couldn't regulate on their own. But yeah, control is the name of the game.
Is this a Joke? I am serious. I cannot tell any more.
- Its ether not the onion or a boring dystopia worthy.
So this is what free speech is all about?
The propaganda machines of tomorrow
One of the most pervasive and destructive of these ideologies is so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI).
Ok, Hitler.
Does AI have views? Anyway, I would throw up this message if questioned about these subjects because you don’t want to pollute your AI with bigoted bullshit.
- Supposedly the following is a real problem:
  For example, one major AI model changed the race or sex of historical figures — including the Pope, the Founding Fathers, and Vikings — when prompted for images because it was trained to prioritize DEI requirements at the cost of accuracy.
  Given the administration's immense reputation for veracity—the biggest we have ever seen—I see no reason to doubt this.
  
  GOP is all about free market, right? So let the free market decide who wants a model that gives out information that is weighted in one direction or another. If you want accuracy, you aren't going to buy into a model that skews things in a different direction. Oh right, they only talk about free market when it works in their best interests...
- Ew, i wouldn't let any one of those boot lickers near my *
Another AI model refused to produce images celebrating the achievements of white people, even while complying with the same request for people of other races.
Hahaha, owned.
No but seriously this is crazy witch hunt wtf.
Today I learned Vikings did not have women.
- You could only become a Viking through conversion.
I hate that orange shitgibbon so fucking much.
Good luck controlling open source models felon
- You mean Chinese models. There are no useful LLMs that are trained in an open source way. It's too expensive. There are only "open weight" models.
The hyperscalers will probably just slap a bandaid on their models and implement guardrails that can be easily evaded
