The brief but consequential provision, tucked into the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s sweeping markup, would be a major boon to the AI industry, which has lobbied for uniform and light touch regulation as tech firms develop a technology they promise will transform society.

However, while the clause would be far-reaching if enacted, it faces long odds in the U.S. Senate, where procedural rules may doom its inclusion in the GOP legislation.

“I don’t know whether it will pass the Byrd Rule,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, referring to a provision that requires that all parts of a budget reconciliation bill, like the GOP plan, focus mainly on the budgetary matters rather than general policy aims.

It always was, is, and will be about slavery.

The rights to dictate what the states should do if there is any chance of them not doing what the GOP wants !

The best kind of regulation.

Free reign for the oligarchs to fuck shit up and permanently establish industry, then add just enough to box out potential competition.

I'm sure this will have no problematic repercussions whatsoever. Seriously these idiots are bound and determined to burn the entire world to the ground just so they can make a few extra bucks.

Has anybody banned the use of AI for weapons not all weapons kill, that target people, you know like politicians, employers, exes, etc?

Money grab. They don't want to interfere with the profits, even if we rush headlong into stuff we have no clue about. Government is always slow in needed regulation of emerging technology, but they want to shut regulation down completely because it might stop what's lining their pockets if it's deemed dangerous to society.

We're so fucked.

We need to start fighting LLM's by breaking them. It's the only thing left to do. They're already so susceptible and broken.... But we need to keep them that way.
