Goes along with tariffs I guess. Charge more for your products and automate away workers. They’re certainly not proposing paying people more or reducing profits…

Anything binding?

The end of the article is baffling:

    While these changes may not have an immediate impact, they hint at a future where Indian IT professionals and outsourcing firms could face more hurdles if Trump returns to power.
Human error or AI slop ? Hard to tell, but it is a funny ending, last time I checked Trump was the current president.

I’m wondering what “woke AI” is. Will the big AI companies need to train or offer their models in such a way that all DEI topics are effectively censored? Sort of like how things are in China, if you ask their domestic models about Tiananmen Square?

Yes, and this is also a green light to include additional extremist content in model training. (See Grok's recent's "MechaHitler" phase.)

I find it ironic that AI will have to exclude tons of science fiction writing as it's pretty common to have trans plotlines and the executive order seems to just lump anything trans in.
