"If this amendment passes, not a single state in America could protect people from AI systems that unfairly deny their medical care, keep their nursing homes understaffed, revoke their unemployment benefits, or inflate their rent."
This week, the GOP slid an amendment into the budget reconciliation process that would ban US states from enacting laws that govern AI.
This of course was not an aberration—it’s the direct result of Silicon Valley lobbying efforts, and big tech’s union with Trump and the Republican Party.

On #DeepSeek and #AI right, would you be ok with your AI client corp taking your data, digging around on you, giving it to their gov, spying on you, selling your data, & generally ripping privacy & copyright up?
Or would DeepSeek be a better option?

Stop using generative AI as a search engine
Sometimes ChatGPT spits out something original — and wrong, like fake presidential pardons.
