“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
„Everyone hates Ted“
If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.
―Lindsey Graham
I think this is my favorite GOP quote of all time.
I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.
-Al Franken
"Here's the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz: I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."
"Everyone hated that"
If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz.
I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.
This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.
Rafael doesn't belive in preferred names. Stop calling Rafael, Ted.
So what I'm hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.
I thought the 1 vote had to be ~~the Zodiac killer~~ Ted Cruz, but no:
The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.
Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?
So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?
Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.
maybe check from openai didn't clear
And how does anyone vote for something that's 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that's not this.
is that the self proclaimed black Nazi?
But states rights? What happened to states rights?
states' rights to opress people was the full thought
States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it's wrong to allow something in one state, it'd be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn't. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.
🤣🤣🤣
Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn't Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport ~~Ted~~ Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!
After all the shit you're giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He's a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he's your creation.
Yes everyone know's a Canadian's shit doesn't stink and the country definitely doesn't have it's own fascism problem.
Definitely.
Stop your billionaires from funding right wing bullshit in my country then
Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.
The hypocrisy is palpable.
Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.
We're not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.
Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets
Cool whattaboutism but it doesnt change the political reality.
Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.
So how much did this cost?
Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.
lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote
It's Biden's fault.
Of course. Also, thanks Obama!
Some nuance I read recently: The argument from above is basically that they want Ai research to continue as it has national security value. Therefore, any limitations or regulations to AI research should only happen on a federal level.
The idea is that all states should share the same playing field so that any researchers do not have to treat states differently.
No, that's the rationalization. They admin wants to use palantir to collect data on American citizens, including giving ICE mobile camera installations to do face tracking. They want to do a 1984, and they don't want any speed bumps from the states
Also, AI companies gave Trump money and there's talk of restricting their power/water access to data centers to prioritize the people living nearby
I don’t buy it.
A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.
In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.
Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.
i honestly don't give af about states that like ai fuck them. ai should be abolished everywhere.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
