"Alright, I’ve officially spent too much time reading Trump’s 28-page AI Action Plan, his three new AI executive orders, listening to his speech on the subject, and reading coverage of the event. I’ll put it bluntly: The vibes are bad. Worse than I expected, somehow.

Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke.

More specifically, the plan aims to further deregulate the tech industry, penalize US states that pass AI laws, speed adoption of AI in the federal government and beyond, fast-track data center development, fast-track nuclear and fossil fuel power to run them, move to limit China’s influence in AI, and restrict speech in AI and the frameworks governing them by making terms like diversity, inclusion, misinformation, and climate change forbidden. There’s also a section on American workers that’s presented as protecting them from AI, but in reality seeks to give employers more power over them. It all portends a much darker future than I thought we’d see in this thing."

The billionaires called it an "excess of democracy", & they worked out how to defeat it:

THE PLAN

In 1975, Samuel P. Huntington said the "excess of democracy" was caused by mass education in the 1960s.

It followed that education had to be de-democratised. Along with the media.

America must limit the education of marginal groups, said Huntington. Prior to World War Il, only 40 per cent of the population was educated beyond elementary level; by 1972, that figure was 75 per cent. The report summed up the threat thus — education raises political consciousness, which raises demands, which make democratic government unworkable: The more educated a person is, the more likely he is to participate in politics, to have a more consistent and more ideological outlook on political issues ,and to hold more “enlightened” or “liberal” or “change- oriented” views on social, cultural and foreign policy issues. ...Black political participation,’ the report said, ‘was the product primarily... of increased group consciousness.

The entire elite class are filled with degenerates who are rap!sts or enablers of this perversity.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool
