Ban crypto, throttle the living shit out of AI by blocking data center construction and making it much more expensive to operate existing data centers

Globally, allow competitors to undercut “our” tech ghouls’ products with free alternatives making all of the current investment unprofitable.

Back to the board

On the AI front. What do you do? I have not seen one realistic idea or proposal from either side - By Cincywolve August 24, 2026 at 11:38:37 AM
- There is nothing you can do without the cooperation of China. Also, you'd probably send the S&P 500 down 30% if you *really* put some kind of moratorium on it. Maybe 50%.* - By Alpo August 24, 2026 at 12:16:41 PM
  - All the more reason to get those moratoriums implemented now, so that President Shitstain is in charge when the bubble pops* - By brick August 24, 2026 at 01:30:58 PM

- On the security side, right now Hugging Face showed that attacks are ahead of defense. The hope there is Open AI, Google and Anthropic will invest their efforts accordingly. - By LewisBullox August 24, 2026 at 11:46:45 AM
- Ban it and throw all the tech ghouls in prison.* - By LS&Play August 24, 2026 at 11:43:44 AM
  - I understand the sentiment but it is a bit like "take money competely out of college sports"...and not realistic* - By Cincywolve August 24, 2026 at 11:46:54 AM
    - If the US independently stopped AI reaearch, construction, and implementation we would cede power to China, North Korea, etc * - By Spirit August 24, 2026 at 12:16:18 PM
      - If you believe AI is either not worth its cost or dangerous, that would be a good result - By brick August 24, 2026 at 01:29:43 PM
        
        It's not worthless bullshit. It is crazy powerful and will only become moreso. - By Alpo August 24, 2026 at 02:25:41 PM

- You do whatever you can to slow progress on the frontier and throw a ton of resources into alignment research. I am not bullish this will happen. (nm) - By suede August 24, 2026 at 11:40:39 AM
  - I was surpised that Harvey and BigLaw (K&E) AI models/LLMs are built on KimiK3 Moonshot AI. Hard to regulate foreign AI*** - By Cincywolve August 24, 2026 at 11:46:05 AM
    - Need an international treaty with mutual inspections regimes and chip controls. Again, not bullish this will happen. (nm) - By suede August 24, 2026 at 11:49:37 AM
      - Nope, much easier to learn, borrow, steal and program. (The top tier agents are now building the frontier models) THis is not nuke infrastructure. The barriers are low* - By Cincywolve August 24, 2026 at 11:55:23 AM
