Gehen wir mal davon aus, A[G]I wäre wirklich intelligent und funktionabel.

Wenn deren Programmierer andauernd in den #Code eingreifen müssen, damit diese #AI nicht immer wieder 'woke', 'ideologische' [= nicht-rechte] Antworten und Vorschläge zu Diversity, Equality/Equity und Inclusion ausspuckt, stimmt mglw. die Vorstellung dieser Programmierer über die Welt nicht.

#Intelligenz scheint #woke, #ideologisch und #DEI zu sein.

Columbia deal with Trump administration may set stage for other schools – The Washington Post

Education lawyers and advocates said Columbia’s deal with the White House was a potentially dangerous government intrusion into higher education.

The Trump administration hailed its deal with Columbia University as a victory and a template for agreements with other institutions on Thursday, even as concerns mounted that the settlement represents an unprecedented intervention by the government in the inner workings of higher education.

Under the terms of the deal, announced late Wednesday, Columbia will pay more than $200 million to settle claims over antisemitism and discriminatory hiring. In return, the government will unfreeze more than $1 billion in federal grants and funding to the university.

The settlement represents a dramatic new stage of President Donald Trump’s aggressive effort to exert control over some of the nation’s most prestigious college campuses, cracking down on anti-Jewish bias as well as diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and demanding a shift away from a liberal worldview.

In agreeing to the deal, the elite Ivy League institution in New York City is entering uncharted territory: It is making an enormous payment to the federal government despite not admitting any wrongdoing while relinquishing a certain measure of oversight to an independent monitor.

Columbia’s deal follows one between the University of Pennsylvania and the Trump administration this month. The administration had announced this spring that it was freezing $175 million to Penn over its policies on transgender athletes – which were in alignment with the NCAA’s rules at the time. Penn agreed to no longer allow transgender women to compete on its female teams and said it would send apology letters to swimmers who were affected by its policy.

@FrankFrank I agree with you but I can’t control what other people write. I can stop #DEI. As to Jefferson have you listened to Tad Stoermer? Interesting take on the founding fathers as well as the opportunity before us. Only about 5 minutes long, link is to FB but you can still watch without going in..he is also in Substack and you might find him on YouTube..very interesting take on our history.

"The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to cut hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of research funding in its push to roll back federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

The Justice Department argued a federal judge in Massachusetts was wrong to block the National Institutes of Health from making $783 million worth of cuts to align with President Donald Trump’s priorities."

What is Donald Trump's plan for AI? @brianmerchant read his Action Plan and executive orders and watched his speech. Here's what he learned. "Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke," Merchant writes for his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "It’s above all a blueprint for consolidated control, a vision where worker power withers, citizens become subservient to AI; to its corporate masters and federal overseers, where fossil fuels are ushered again into prominence at the height of the climate crisis, and democracy is sidelined in favor of automation technologies. It is, in summary, pretty grim!"

Blood in the Machine · Trump's AI Action Plan is a blueprint for dystopiaBy Brian Merchant

#Trump unveils his plan to put #AI in everything

The administration wants to clear the way for a rapid AI revolution.

Excerpt: "The plan recommends deleting 'references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and #ClimateChange' in federal risk management guidance and prohibiting the federal government from contracting with large language model (LLM) developers unless they 'ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias' — a standard it hasn’t yet clearly defined. It says the US must 'reject radical climate dogma and bureaucratic red tape' to win the AI race."
