Who is responsible? The SW creator? The trainer? The source of the training data? The hosting data center?

What are the penalties? Who enforces this? Who investigates?

I don't think that will fly even with this joke of a supreme court

Ok everyone. Since a.i is trained on what we put out, you know what to do ..

So the administration wants to win the AI race through deregulation, except they want to regulate its social compass. Make it make sense

I read through the thing, and it's a doozy. he seems triggered by the fact that AI might make a picture where Washington is a black man, or Hamilton is Latino. I hope he hasn't been to Broadway lately....

Watch all the AI companies scramble to comply in a quest for government contracts. This will affect everyone who uses American LLMs and generative AI.

It should also open an opportunity for international competition from less censored models.

Artificial Stupidity

Are there currently any government contracts put at risk by this? I didn't think that the feds were major spenders on AI. And is Trump aware that Musk is currently the one man trying to provide the sort of AI that Trump wants?

Honestly this order seems empty. Does the government even have a need for general LLMs? Why would they need an AI to answer simple questions?

As much as I dislike Trump, this shouldn't impact any AI available to the general public.

Well, in practice, no.

Do you think any corporation is going to bother making a separate model for government contracts versus any other use? I mean, why would they. So unless you can pony up enough cash to compete with a lucrative government contract (and the fact none of us can is, on fact, the while point), the end result will involve these requirements being adopted by the overwhelming majority of generative AI available on the market.

So in reality, no, this absolutely will not be limited to models purchased by the feds. Frankly, I believe choosing to think otherwise to be dangerously naive.

Does the government even have a need for general LLMs?

Will this stop them from spending our hard earned tax money on it?

They don't, but they think they do.

But anything the US feds contracted them for, like building data centres, they have to comply or they face penalties and have to pay all the costs back.

10 days ago, a week before this was announced, they awarded $200M contracts each to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI

This doesn’t doom the public versions, but they now have a pretty strong incentive to save money and make them comply with the US governments new definition of truth.

Trans people have objectively existed historically and there is scientific evidence trans people are telling the truth. So what now?

Do they call it „Newspeak“ yet or does it take another couple of months until they do?

Damn, the US deteriorated quickly into a total shithole!
Not much left to go until it’s worse than China.

They all got $200M last week

actually Real Stupidity

If promotion of diversity is pervasive and destructive, but LLMs are by definition trained on diverse datasets, are they not by default unpermitted?

Beyond that, the conflation of fact with truth is really...something.

Also how will a historically accurate model explain what happened to black people in the US before 1865 without concepts like systemic racism?

For the white supremacists in charge of the USA, the answer to your last question is that it's forbidden to talk about Black history, and white people did nothing wrong. That is what they mean by historical accuracy. The fact that it's false is irrelevant and unmentionable.

Not sure what you mean about the conflation of fact and truth. They're generally treated as pretty close concepts.
