arguing over phrasing is a dumb way to shoot yourselves in the foot
Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Unlike simple lying, which tries to hide the truth, doublespeak seeks to make the truth seem more palatable or to shift the listener's perception without them realizing it.

re: Trump bans AI giant Anthropic, after dispute of AI military weapons and surveillance

Yesterday they announced 110 bilion in additional funding, Im not certain that would be considered cash strapped and floundering.
Oh, that's exactly what it means to be cash-strapped. They are keeping the lights on with investors. They aren't talking about profits and had to revise their spending down by 600B.

I said earlier it was because Hegseth stupidly bluffed and then couldn't go back. But I wonder if it wasn't just garden variety corruption, as Open AI is by far Trump's biggest donor.
Possibly true
Another note to add is that OpenAI is floundering and cash-strapped--they are desperate. This could be the move Pete needs to get his way, because OpenAI cannot afford to lose ANY deal so they will bend the knee at any request.

Yeah seems bad. The surveillance implications are crazy, especially when we contemplate what some future administration might use it for.
Again, you don’t change your name to the Department of War for nothing. Trump is seeking federal control over elections, and now Pete is creating a surveillance state. It’s not hard to draw a conclusion on this one.
Still not believing the slow move to a dictatorship, huh?
So give companies the money that was collected by overcharging/taxing American consumers?

Whats going to get interesting is the consumers. You know those businesses didn't eat the tariffs, so if a consumer comes and demands refunds from the businesses, what happens?
The way capitalism works, those prices are now built in forever.

They chose globalism.
Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Switzerland after a phone call with the country's former president.
In your cult like mind, saying that's not within his power is choosing Globalism.
Amazing stuff

I love that this thread has all the leftists/socialists and the never Trumpers all congregated in celebration.
In 6 years, what's LAWS have the Trump admin passed that has transformed America?
We have a lot of EOs and tweets, but what legislative laws will last past his tenure?

What law is that actually that says we can be victims of other country tariffs but can't have tariffs ourselves?
For some reason, the Trump administration doesn’t like following processes. That’s where the dictator trope comes from. He and his kind believe that he can tweet something and boom, that’s now the way the world works.

Tell us your an idiot, without saying those exact words!!! Good job!
Not sure what Doge has to do with the AI take over.
But it has been proven time and time again that these uber-rich people have no idea what's really going on, as they are so removed from the process.
You guys say this all the time about the Ivory tower libs--it's also true for the rich folks on your side.
Elon said we would have fully autonomous cars and all cars would be electric for the past 10+ years. Well, here we are, and no one wants an electric car.
I don't think Elon and his ilk actually know what most ppl do behind those computers.
They think everyone is coding apps.

I'm not for fraud of any kind, but didn't Trump just go into a country and kidnap a president while they were sleeping?

Same way we got the Patriot Act and Obamacare. Wanted a win for the team without considering the merit of the idea.

Are you ok with a future Democrat president making it illegal to show ids nationally? Anything Trump can do, a future president can do. Why do you want the president to be a dictator?
It blows my mind how short-sighted these folks are on topics like this. They love it when Trump dictates because he is their guy, but Trump won't be there forever.
It's amazing that this isn't even considered.
