I watched it live. It was a great speech and Vance was resolute.
Kudos to Vance, but AI still sucks and we will reap what we sew.
Did they use AI to translate it into French?
Trump hit a homerun out of the park when he put JD Vance on the ticket. He will be the next president and one of the best VP’s America has ever had. Bravo JD!
I did. I used ChatGPT 4. I usually use 4o, but it didn’t work for some reason. It kept stopping mid-transcript.
Stopping technological advancement is like stopping the tide. AI is coming whether we like it or not.

Yes, and it will be bad in the end.
Correct. I have the typing skills of a dog.
Freeper Dennisw turned me on to Perplexity AI so I’ve been using that more, especially as a phone app. I did start with ChatGPT but mostly because that one got all the press at first. Perplexity is solid. But I have no idea they could all be spyware or worse.
Ignoring AI is like us sitting out the nuclear arms race 80 years ago.
Its sucks, but we must embrace it, or China will dominate in this new horizon
“… However, the Trump Administration is troubled by reports that some foreign governments are considering tightening the screws on U.S. tech companies with international footprints. America cannot and will not accept that, and we think it’s a terrible mistake not just for the United States of America but for your own countries. The U.S. innovators of all sizes already know what it’s like to deal with onerous international rules. Many of our most productive tech companies are forced to deal with the EU’s Digital Services Act and the massive regulations it created about taking down content and policing so-called misinformation. Of course, we want to ensure the internet is a safe place, but it is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation.…”

Vance is right about this. The EU for several years has been trying to bleed Apple (you know, “other people’s money”) and force it to downgrade its security/privacy infrastructure. We do want Apple to be forced to give the EU (or anyone else for that matter) a “back door” into user data that Apple encrypts for the user. And we also don’t want foreign countries draining the wealth of an American company.
I doubt it. Speaking biologically and philosophically there is no such thing as AI. It will always be a product of who programmed it. There will be built in biases and nothing man makes is ever perfect, but up to now we could control it or unplug it. I am glad I won’t be here to see it.
>> AI still sucks
well, it’s being used to successfully uncover massive, intricate graft throughout major government organizations
Apples and oranges. We were in a race to prevent some tool from being used. AI is not a tool if it develop into what people want. It will become the gate keeper. Your bank, house, car, phone, planes you fly in, everything will be under its control. People are so stupid to give control of everything to it and that is where this will go, in the name of progress, comfort, coolness, or whatever stupid reason that can be thought of... Computers have a place, just not at the top of the food chain. And we as a race have proven we cannot control crap. It is an illusion.
Only if you are sowing flax or cotton.
Which honest accountants can do over time. Still not a good comparison. It is being used to crunch numbers, exactly what computers are for, I don’t want it tied into command and control devices that it can lock you out of.
I am a 30 year plus software engineer (EE). I kind of know a lot of what I am talking about. I tried AI for a short time and left that career path after seeing what the end result that most AI developers (industry power brokers) want it to do.
