Trump: "To ensure America maintains the world-class infrastructure we need to win, today I will sign a sweeping executive order to fast-track federal permitting, streamline reviews, and do everything possible to expedite construction of all major AI infrastructure projects".
Not a huge fan of Trump and his policies, but he's absolutely right about the importance of energy and AI dominance.
The fact that Trump is absolutely against wind and solar (which are increasingly cost competitive and available now, unlike a viable commercial nuclear solution) tells me Trump is not serious about “energy dominance”.
Trump's opposition to renewables is likely because the vast majority of manufacturing is based in China, and he doesn't want to help the US's primary geopolitical rival. This is probably why he has stuck so fervently to fossil fuels, which are abundant in the US.
But you are right that wind, solar, and batteries would definitely help America with energy dominance.
Good point. A coherent “energy dominance” strategy would thus encourage renewable manufacturing in the US. Trump is doing the opposite, entirely ceding the market to China.
Is anyone surprised that Trump's approach to AI just so happens to be the one that helps make his tech oligarchs even more disgustingly rich while he rubs his diaper all over copyright holders and ensures the working class has no guardrails against potential destructive outcomes to employment?
I'm a huge advocate for AI and use it in every facet of my work, but even the most naive among us can see where this is heading, who will reap all the benefits, and who will most acutely suffer the pains of this disruptive technology.
It doesn't have to be a choice between AI dominance or strategic guardrails for worker and economic protection -- an intelligent administration could reasonably achieve both. Unfortunately an intelligent administration is 3.5 years away at best while this industry continues developing at lightning speed...
The boosterism and lack of caution is alarming, but I suppose it is gratifying to some of Trump's patrons. Tit for tat, right?

Yes, Biden did so. Trump's opposition to renewables isn't entirely due to China but also part of his "war on woke".

The AI Action plan explicitly mentions “Providing training to workers impacted by AI”
What will they be trained in? How to write AI queries?
"Unfortunately an intelligent administration is 3.5 years away at best"
[ROTFLOL]!
You trust Trump’s people training AI? No!
