The Trump administration recently published "America's AI Action Plan". One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST's AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are "objective and free from top-down ideological bias".

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

When you say that Trump's EO's only affects the executive branch, it sounds like you're trying to say the EO doesn't matter. My point is that it does matter.

You compared Trump's EO to a federal law enacted by Congress. In that sense, it doesn't matter because those two have nothing in common in the slightest. Since you already understand EOs have a limited scope, than you know that this does nothing to stop open source software.

When I mentioned the TAKE IT DOWN act, we were talking about regulations in general. I did not equivocate laws to EOs. That said, this EO will have effects on regulatory agencies. Therefore, it will have an effect on software as we discussed, open source or not.

No. No it won't. I stand by my Pirate Bay example.

Enough with the damn fear mongering.

I pointed to an actual thing that already happened. How is that fear mongering?
