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.

If Trump comes out and says some dumb shit, you can't just say "AMERICA WANTS THIS", because that is obviously untrue.

You need to realize how insanely defensive you're being. Why? For what?

Think about what you're arguing for for a second: America doesn't want AI, only Trump's administration does. Is this not all of politics?

"America doesn't want free health care, only some of its democrats do."

"America doesn't want ranked choice voting, lots of people in Wyoming hate ranking things. And math."

"America doesn't want gay marriage, there are still lots of people really upset about that supreme court ruling."

You're drawing a scenario in which "America" can't actually "want" anything because no one ever agrees on who America is.

I'm being competely serious: you need to unwrap your ego from all this. This isn't about you. ICE raids aren't your—you specifically—your fault. No one is saying it is.

America is a really, really big machine, and sometimes it does things I don't like. Sometimes it does things I do. You know what I mean?
