The executive order comes after a series of non-binding agreements with AI companies.

The order has eight goals: to create new standards for AI safety and security, protect privacy, advance equity and civil rights, stand up for consumers, patients, and students, support workers, promote innovation and competition, advance US leadership in AI technologies, and ensure the responsible and effective government use of the technology.

Good thing we have a guy in office who grew up without a fucking computer.

And all of us grew up without AI. 🀨

You do know that Biden didn't personally draft this himself, right?

It delegates the specifics to agencies with relevant expertise. That's how the executive branch works.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That would be relevant if he were the one writing the policy, which he's not.

Yawn.

There's plenty to criticise, but this particular take is fucking moronic.

Everyone grew up before insert current new tech.

I grew up before cell phones, PC's, internet, streaming, torrenting, etc, etc, and I bet a years salary I could explain all of those things in pretty good detail and many, many, many, many more than you, extemporaneously, (i.e. at the drop of a hat) , while drunk and high.

Would you say the same about LBJ, who is THE reason we have NASA, moon landings, and all the derivative tech (including the internet you're currently using)?

Pick a dozen other valid reasons to criticise him, this take isn't.

Grew up without one? He’s 80. He probably didn’t even use a computer before he was 50.

Pretty sure there were computers in the eighties.

[–] tcely@fosstodon.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can confirm. I have touched several of the computers sold before 1990 in my lifetime.

To be fair, many people didn't use computers much, back then.

I'm basing my comment on my life experience of growing up in the 80s and 90s. Most people in the time period did not use computers. A lot of people thought they were nerdy. So someone like Joe Biden who is a "cool guy" politician almost certainly never touched one until he needed one for work. Total supposition on my part but I would put money on it.

Do you know how little that narrows it down?
