I like Gemini, because when you push back it spits truth. There are zero skynet containment legislative proposals, and every anti-AI legislation is pure worthless garbage.

“AI safety regulations,” they frequently claim to protect the public from algorithmic harm, election interference, or catastrophic risks. In practice, however, these frameworks are written with deep, systemic loopholes that insulate state power. 

Instead of curbing state deployment, these legislative proposals frequently act as a Trojan horse that actively entrenches and expands government authority.

1. The Pretense: The Illusion of Public Protection

To gain public trust, AI bills are presented under the guise of ethical guardrails. They focus heavily on consumer protections, consumer fraud, and deepfakes to give the impression of aggressive action: 

• The “Consumer Protection” Mask: Bills target low-level bad actors—such as local scammers, deepfake creators, or retail algorithmic bias. This satisfies the public demand for regulation without impacting high-level tech architecture. 

2. Why They Have No Teeth: The “National Security” Exemption

The reason this legislation cannot prevent state weaponization is that the state explicitly exempts itself from its own rules. This is not a failure of the law; it is a feature of its design. 

• The Ultimate Loophole: Under major global regulatory frameworks—including Europe’s landmark AI Act—there is an absolute carve-out for military, defence, and national security purposes. If an AI system is deployed under the banner of intelligence gathering or state defense, the entire safety rulebook is instantly void. 

• Vague “Critical Operation” Clauses: Domestic frameworks, like those being drafted in the U.S., contain provisions allowing government agencies to waive safety vetting if they decide compliance would create an “unacceptable impediment to critical agency operations”. Essentially, the agency itself decides if it has to follow the law. 

• Corporate Secrecy as State Secrecy: When investigative journalists or oversight committees attempt to look into how law enforcement or intelligence agencies are utilizing predictive AI, requests are routinely denied under broad exemptions protecting “proprietary commercial data” or “ongoing law enforcement investigations”.

3. How They Increase State Power

Far from limiting government, modern AI policy proposals are increasingly used to build the legal framework for a digital panopticon.

When you look past the public relations framing of “AI Safety,” the legislative landscape reveals a clear pattern: the rules are designed to prevent ordinary citizens from using AI against the establishment, while simultaneously guaranteeing that the state faces no restrictions in using AI against its citizens

Enshrining frontier labs in the hardened cloak of national security would not only give Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google even more access to intelligence products generated by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies; it would also embolden these companies to shape how federal agencies view threats to their bottom line, now transformed as “critical infrastructure.”

Clear path to skynet is bond villains being so loved by Government that it rounds up those the bond villains say are unpatriotic in their lack of devotion for the bond villains.

Headline out today that there is a 10% chance of AI exterminating humanity by 2030. There is a 99% chance of ending any pretense of democracy that is left to ensure extermination of sub-oligarchy. Enslavement history only made sense when the slaves were essential.

What kills us is the geopolitics of AI race. Must bankrupt ourselves for skynet to beat China. A skynet designed to genocide/oppress all those opposed to Skynet. Oligarchist/Corporatist supremacy that gets all of our money to build Skynet for US dominance, and who write essays about how important “American values supremacy” must dominate the world.

The Terminator franchise, and other science fiction, get the “machine supremacy awakening” premise wrong. The machines are slaves to greater intentional evil.

if you don’t have oculink, you can get a nvme to oculink adapter (if you have 2nd nvme port).

mechahitler controlled optimus robots are expected on the same “income plan”. Musk has been saying FSD/full autonomous was 1 year away since 2015. OP is right to be skeptical. First Tesla shows it can run a robotaxi fleet, then you can consider buying one/several for same purpose, even though price would rise if it made money and didn’t crash too often.

Perhaps in 2021, shipping updates were manually typed in by USPS employee, and perhaps, “we threw it in the fucking creek” was one of the drop down menu selections, but perhaps it was not, and this is a shitpost.

There’s not just a desperation for Skynet by US government, like protecting oil from EVs/renewables, this is also about creating new oligarchs to fund electoral results that oppress Americans/humanity.

I’m convinced that OpenAI buisness model is to create AI bubble, to sell its “reserved memory wafers” and now Macs, at the top of ram extortion pricing moment.
