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.
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.
