California governor says order pushes ‘grift and corruption’ instead of innovation just hours after president’s dictum
The ink was barely dry on Donald Trump’s artificial intelligence executive order when Gavin Newsom came out swinging. Just hours after the order went public Thursday evening, the California governor issued a statement saying the presidential dictum, which seeks to block states from regulating AI of their own accord, advances “grift and corruption” instead of innovation.
“President Trump and David Sacks aren’t making policy – they’re running a con,” Newsom said, referencing Trump’s AI adviser and crypto “czar”. “Every day, they push the limits to see how far they can take it.”
Trump’s executive order is a major victory for tech companies that have campaigned against legislative barriers to developing and deploying their AI products. It also sets up a clash between state governments and the White House over the future of AI regulation. The immediate backlash from groups including child safety organizations, unions and state officials has highlighted the deeply contentious nature of the order and diverse range of interests it affects.
All turmp does is push grift and corruption. He wants to consolidate complete authority under him, the exact situation the founding fathers built the framework of power to explicitly prevent. Americans are eager to destroy the legacy of America.
The legacy of America has always been genocide, fascism, greed, and domination with a thick smear of propaganda over everything.
It has never been only the unpleasant stuff, that’s your cynical choice to focus on. The fundamental framework of power and adherence eto democratic ideals is a unique political and social achievement, it is not just propaganda.
We need to stop plastering this guy’s name over everything.
He’s trying to stay as relevant as possible so that useful idiots vote for him over AOC in 2028.
Do not fall prey.
It’s America, we’re not going to elect a female president because a third of the country is sexist and another third doesn’t realize they’re sexist.
This talking point is used exclusively by people who are happy to hold all women back if it means preventing one particular woman from running.
Oof, you fell prey.
Welp, looks like I’ll be sitting next election out, again. Have fun with JD vance, you smarty smarties.
Why would you sit out the next election?
I changed my mind.
If democraps nominate another corporate stooge, I’m just going to vote republican.
Fuck this bullshit.
Ah the old “cutting off your nose to spite your face” move. Can’t say I agree with the strategy, but I understand the frustration.
Newsom is the capitalist governor in charge of the techbro state, there’s no way he regulates AI effectively.
