„Everyone hates Ted“

If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.
―Lindsey Graham
I think this is my favorite GOP quote of all time.
I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.
-Al Franken
“Here’s the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz: I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.”

Rafael doesn’t belive in preferred names. Stop calling Rafael, Ted.

I thought the 1 vote had to be
the Zodiac killerTed Cruz, but no:The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.
Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?
So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?
Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.
maybe check from openai didn’t clear

And how does anyone vote for something that’s 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that’s not this.
is that the self proclaimed black Nazi?
I don’t think so? Dude looks like he’d be a WASP if he wasn’t Catholic. Unless he was doing some internet sock puppet shenanigans or something.
“Everyone hated that”
So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.
The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.
🤣🤣🤣
But states rights? What happened to states rights?
states’ rights to opress people was the full thought
States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it’s wrong to allow something in one state, it’d be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn’t. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
So how much did this cost?
False, nobody can ever lose respect for Ted Cruz. There’s none to lose.
Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.
It’s Biden’s fault.
Of course. Also, thanks Obama!
Don’t forget to blame dei and Hillary’s emails!
Damn those buttery males!
Probably doesn’t care, already made his paycheck after all
“i like ted cruz more than most of my other colleagues like ted cruz and i hate ted cruz”
This is not good news, because it was up to debate.
Efit: well, ok, it was Ted Cruz after all.
Was Ted the 1 vote or was he in Cancun for the roll call?
Some nuance I read recently: The argument from above is basically that they want Ai research to continue as it has national security value. Therefore, any limitations or regulations to AI research should only happen on a federal level.
The idea is that all states should share the same playing field so that any researchers do not have to treat states differently.
No, that’s the rationalization. They admin wants to use palantir to collect data on American citizens, including giving ICE mobile camera installations to do face tracking. They want to do a 1984, and they don’t want any speed bumps from the states
Also, AI companies gave Trump money and there’s talk of restricting their power/water access to data centers to prioritize the people living nearby
i honestly don’t give af about states that like ai fuck them. ai should be abolished everywhere.
I don’t buy it.
A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.
In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.
Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.
