“You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for”, President Trump says (www.wired.com)

Sam Altman defending the ban on Republican state AI regulations in 2025:

Altman, during the hearing, said that Texas had been “unbelievable” in incentivizing major AI projects. “I think that would be a good thing for other states to study,” Altman said. He predicted that the Abilene site would be the “largest AI training facility in the world.” But Altman also later cautioned against a patchwork regulatory framework for AI.

“It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations,” said Altman. “One federal framework that is light touch, that we can understand, and it lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for, seems important and fine.”

Aww, would it make it "difficult" for you to create your technocratic dystopia? 😭🎻

Trump's former CTO and current Science Advisor Michael Kratsios about why we don't need regulations on facial recognition tech in 2019:

“A patchwork of regulation of technology is not beneficial for the country. We want to avoid that. Facial recognition has important roles—for example, finding lost or displaced children. There are use cases, but they need to be underpinned by values.”

Not beneficial for the country or the corporations? Always thinking about the children first, even back then. Please tell me more about how we're just too dumb to understand how all of this is for our own good.
