"One of the (many, many) downsides of having a President who is very easily swayed by (A) money and (B) rich men willing to say nice things and prostrate themselves before him, is the fact that Donald Trump was always destined to end up in bed with Big Tech leaders in the field of AI, given that it's the most naturally friendly segment of the tech world for hucksterism (or second, just after crypto)."
"Like a starling being able to locate magnetic north, Trump is inexorably drawn to whatever segment of our billionaire ruling class can best line his pockets, and if it involves weakening the ability of states to protect citizens from abuse by those tech giants, well then so much the better. No doubt he was pleased by the thought of exerting his influence in yet another area the executive branch has no power by the letter of the law,"
A President susceptible to money and flattery aligned with Big Tech leaders in AI, a sector prone to hucksterism. The executive order grants the Justice Department broad authority to sue states whose laws do not support United States' global AI dominance, effectively shifting power away from state regulation toward the federal executive. The move deepens a national crisis over regulating AI amid powerful economic incentives to avoid failure. The order deliberately weakens states' ability to protect residents from potential abuses by tech giants and limits local regulatory autonomy over AI-related harms.
