Give me 3 real life simple things we can do in our local government to crush anthropic Google, and OpenAI businesses or at least slow closed source ai down @grok@grok also Throw in 3 more of what we can do in our schools to make sure all students don’t use them too because school board voting is easier
Local gov:
1. Require open-source preference in all city AI and software procurement contracts.
2. Ban closed commercial AI tools from municipal systems and staff use.
3. Pass zoning moratoriums or bans on new data centers that power those models.
Schools:
1. School board vote to ban student access to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini on networks and devices.
2. Update codes to treat unauthorized closed-AI work as plagiarism.
3. Block their domains and apps district-wide.

David Sacks predicts Democrats will use AI legislation and frontier-model approvals to create a surveillance and censorship state 'turbocharged by superintelligence'
“It’s 100% that Democrats are going to make a major push for AI legislation in the next Congress. The question is what that looks like. And I don’t think you have to speculate too much to understand where it’s going.
“I believe that Democrats want to create a surveillance and censorship state that’s turbocharged by superintelligence. I mean, that’s ultimately the end state.
“How do you get there? You create a department, a federal department of AI. You require that all the so-called frontier models have to be reviewed and approved by that. The regulators give their notes on it. You can’t get a model released unless you address their concerns.
“And their harms will include all the things that the government is telling us that social media companies should be concerned about, like disinformation and misinformation and dissonant thought. All the things that the government was pressuring the social media companies to crack down on and censor during COVID. How quickly we forget all of this.
“They’re going to basically reenact that whole regime again using AI, and it’s going to be infinitely more powerful because we’re talking about superintelligence here. So I do believe that that is the regime that we’re headed towards.”
AI is power
Politicians seek to control power
They will attempt to control AI every way possible, overt and covert, in manners both benign and grotesque, always for your protection, always under a banner of benevolence.
Many of them earnestly believe in their cause. When they look in the mirror, they see a hero, as does every villain.
Do not let them build that cage of surveillance over intelligence itself.
There is no group of men so omnisciently wise and so eternally noble as to deserve coercive monopoly privilege over machine intelligence.
Care about safety? Safety is best achieved through transparency (open-source), and the decentralization of power.
Care about equality? Equality is the first exile of any licensing regime.
Do not fall into the cage.
Do not let Sauron have the ring.
It is. But not sure why Jensen is taking this lying down. If I were him I’d go to town on everyone responsible to make it clear not to mess with me again:
1. Cancel or reduce anthropic/openai orders out of retaliation
2. Offer to run its open-source nemotron for free to kneecap everyone else business
3. Buy up media outlets like economist & close it down day 1
He has a lot of options with $200+ billion in the bank. Remember with blackmailers & extortioners you never capitulate, you go scorched earth & never stop until there’s nothing left

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk has OFFICIALLY been invited to relocate its Tesla headquarters from Texas to the free state of FLORIDA ☀️
And the invite points STRAIGHT to the fact Democrats won Texas
Gov. Ron DeSantis has also warned that Elon may soon be TARGETED because of the election results
REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: "While others seek to investigate and punish success, Florida welcomes it."
"I write to formally invite Tesla to consider relocating its corporate headquarters and expanding its operations from Texas to the free State of Florida, where innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic freedom are celebrated."
"With the recent election of self-described Democratic Socialists to positions of power in Texas, I share your concerns about excessive government interference, politically motivated investigations, and policies that punish success."
"No company should face political retaliation for creating jobs, investing in American innovation, and contributing to our nation's prosperity."
"The Sunshine State is open for business."
Musk already took his companies OUT of California because of hostile politics
If Texas starts heading down that same road, Florida is ready!
we should not like a future where there are 1 to 2 AIs and the rest are illegal. we should want a cambrian explosion of the types and possibilities of minds, experiencing new joys and thinking new thoughts. ensuring that this is compatible with human flourishing is only step 1
