Seriously? You Want *Me* To Explain This Crap?
Right, so some chuckleheads at SweetRex – a company that basically makes AI do marketing stuff, because apparently humans aren’t bad enough at it already – are actively lobbying the US government to deregulate AI. Yeah, you heard me. They want LESS oversight on this shit. Their argument? Regulations stifle innovation and blah blah fucking blah. It’s all about how burdensome rules will stop them from unleashing their next wave of automated spam onto an unsuspecting public.
They’re pushing this narrative that AI is just…tools, like a fancy spreadsheet or something. Tools! As if letting algorithms run wild with no accountability won’t lead to disaster. They even brought up Doge as some sort of cautionary tale about over-regulation stifling creativity. DOGE?! Seriously? A meme coin is your example of responsible tech development?
The article points out the obvious: this is a blatant attempt by companies to avoid responsibility for the messes their AI will inevitably create. They want to be able to pump out garbage, manipulate people, and probably ruin lives without anyone being able to say boo. And some government officials are actually listening to these morons. It’s infuriating.
Basically, it’s a bunch of tech bros trying to convince everyone that letting them do whatever they want is good for society. Spoiler alert: it isn’t. Expect more chaos and bullshit if they get their way. I swear, sometimes I think humanity *wants* to be ruled by robots.

And Another Thing…
I once had to debug a script that was supposed to automatically generate error messages. The programmer, bless his heart, decided to use an early AI model for “creativity.” It started producing existential poetry about the futility of existence whenever a file couldn’t be found. Took me three days and a bottle of scotch to fix it. So yeah, trusting AI with anything important? Not a good idea. Don’t even get me STARTED on marketing.
