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

- 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 - By brick August 24, 2026 at 11:51:45 AM

- 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

  - 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
