I only use AI to make shitty furry porn. It needs to be regulated.

? I don't see them trying to sneak an AI regulation ban again anytime soon. This is about the strongest bipartisan support against anything I can recall in my life.

Many of the people that voted against this are to blame for many of the other problems we are about to be hit with.

However, of all the scary shit in that bill, this was one of the most concerning to me. Specifically in terms of irreversibility to the damage it would do, the creation of national AI surveillance databases being built across the country, and the kind of environmental and safety regulations that will have to be ignored in order to power them.

The closest thing to hope, I hold for my own state, is that I just hope whatever lesson we ended up serve as in future history books isn't on the same scale or worse than Chernobyl.

I can breathe a little easier knowing that the entire country won't be facing a mandatory federal law demanding they be more like Louisiana in terms of deregulation in order to make a terrible idea actually profitable, regardless of how many people it hurts.

As in Cruz wasn’t a problem this time.

He’s an eternal cunt and will be a problem again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Fair enough. That's never been a doubt to me. I still don't understand how the Zodiac killer could hold office as long as he has, but as long as he's got power, he's going to keep trying to destroy this country.

Ted Cruz. The ULTIMATE bottom.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Nothing wrong with bottoming…

Sure the fuck is when Trump is your top.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It’s not bottoming when there’s no consent. Then it’s rape.

Cruz totally consents in this case, but as a generality, bottoming is juuuuust fine…

Would you rather I said cuckoldry instead?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You’re taking this way too seriously…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

No, but there is something wrong with Raphael Cruz.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Wasn’t there someone else who created a bill and voted for it, but told others to vote against it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Stop giving broadband funds globally, it's just squandered, it needs to be manually voted on and approved per project.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.

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!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.
