I made myself read the WAPO editorial. It starts a lot worse than it ends. washingtonpost.com archive.ph e.g.: The Trump plan calls for stabilizing the existing grid and embracing “new energy generation sources at the technological frontier,” but this section is vague and unsatisfying given the urgency of the task. Immigration, for example, remains critical to securing tech talent: The list of researchers recently hired by Meta for its superintelligence lab is heavy on first- and second-generation immigrants. Yet NeurIPS, a leading machine-intelligence conference, recently announced its annual gathering in San Diego will have a second physical location in Mexico City to cope with “skyrocketing attendance and difficulties in obtaining travel visas.” The recent tax bill throttled renewable energy. This is a bad mistake Nor should the culture wars infect AI policy, as happened with Trump’s recent executive order on Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government. The best that can be said is that it was not as bad as it could have been. But the risk that American AI will be too woke pales in comparison with the risk that it will be too underpowered against Chinese models. This is a waste of time and political capital, when the U.S. has neither to spare. U.S. freedom from government censorship should be a selling point for AI models abroad. The United States won’t beat China by offering a competing censorship regime. As for administration published a lengthy AI action plan whitehouse.gov That not so lengthy PDF word salad concept of a plan depends on eviscerated agencies led by ignorant hacks to implement it. And no plan to fund it, like a child with a wish list. About the only concrete steps in it are proposals on p.14-16. As the editorial concludes, the "very long race to run" is incompatible with a regime with the attention span of an ADHD addled second grader. Maybe Bozo's henchman just read the beginning before OKing publication.
