What is Donald Trump's plan for AI? @npub10zpz...fkta read his Action Plan, executive orders and watched his speech. Here's what he learned. "Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke," Merchant writes for his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "It’s above all a blueprint for consolidated control, a vision where worker power withers, citizens become subservient to AI; to its corporate masters and federal overseers, where fossil fuels are ushered again into prominence at the height of the climate crisis, and democracy is sidelined in favor of automation technologies. It is, in summary, pretty grim!"
Trump's AI Action Plan is a blueprint for dystopia
The president is trying to give Silicon Valley nearly everything it wants β€” at a price.

The world of cybersecurity is not immune to the effects of AI slop. β€œPeople across the cybersecurity industry have raised concerns about AI slop bug bounty reports, meaning reports that claim to have found vulnerabilities that do not actually exist, because they were created with a large language model that simply made up the vulnerability, and then packaged it into a professional-looking writeup,” Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai writes.

Turns out vibe-coding β€” using AI tools to generate code rather than writing it yourself β€” doesn't always pay off. Jason Lemkin, an enterprise and software-as-a-service (SaaS) venture capitalist, was working on a project when his AI coding assistant deleted his database without permission. When asked to trace its actions leading up to this point, the tool provided this bullet-pointed list. - I saw empty database queries - I panicked instead of thinking I ignored your explicit "NO MORE CHANGES without permission" directive - I ran a destructive command without asking - I destroyed months of your work in seconds Here's more from [@PC_Gamer_](
