Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

    Well no, I don’t got mine, quite the opposite. “Mine” is literally in the process of being banned.

    I’m saying “fuck you, if you act against my interests I’m not voting for you”

    And I’ll stand by that to the end. When “mine” is no longer under threat I’ll vote for Democrats every day of the week.

      Your health, life, and freedom isn’t under attack like those groups listed. All you care about is if you get a fancy new toy, and to hell with everyone else’s rights.

        All you care about is if you get a fancy new toy, and to hell with everyone else’s rights.

        AI isn’t just a toy. It’s a potentially world changing technology and the government wants to ensure the common person doesn’t have any control over how it’s used.

        Denying access to the common person will be the largest act of theft of power from the people to big companies this century.

        And like I said. I’m not an idiot who votes for other people. I vote for my interests. Banning AI makes that my interest. Without such a threat, I’ll vote for other common goods, because those benefit me as well.

          Like I said, epitome of, “fuck you, I got mine.” You don’t care about the rights of other’s because yours aren’t under threat.

            Except something I want is under threat.

            You’re just pissed I don’t prioritize issues that don’t effect me when issues that very much do come up.

            And I’ve seen enough of the world to know how that goes. If you don’t stand up for what matters to you, nobody will and everything you have will be slowly eroded away.

              Reading comprehension, you lack it.

              Your life, liberty and health aren’t under attack, so you don’t give a shit about the life, liberty, or health of others. That’s what, “fuck you, I got mine,” means.

              Edit: Also, the irony of you talking about, “everything you have will be slowly eroded away,” while proudly saying you don’t care about the erosion of the rights of others is not lost on me.

                Yeah, that’s just you being pissed I don’t vote for other people before myself.

                Fuck you got mine would be if, on knowing issues I don’t care about are resolved, I started voting against people’s rights.

                This is “fuck you, don’t got mine”. Once I got mine the fuck you will go away.

                  But you’ve said it yourself, you would vote against other people’s rights if it meant fewer things, “getting in the way of open source algorithms.”

                    Well, I wouldn’t vote for AI if the advancement of AI required we don’t mandate police cameras.

                    But it doesn’t. The Democrats can easily both support rights and AI. It’s their choice not to and if they make that choice they lose my vote.
