So, MAGA supports AI, but Desantis' position of anti-AI very much fits the "anti-intellectual", "anti-science", "anti-technology" positioning of MAGA...

Apparently, MAGA is both pro-AI and anti-AI at the same time...

It's very confusing for some people when they realize that not all Republicans have the exact same views on every single issue, and don't just fall in line whenever the Democrats decide what the current "Science Be Praised!" party line is. Like when they went from anti-vax to pro mandatory vax with the changing of the occupant at the White House.

My 2 favorite teams are Texas A&M and whoever is playing Eastasia!!!

If RD is going to win the nomination he has to beat JDV

JDV has locked down the Turning point crowd so JDV tech venture capitalist background and being very cozy with the tech billionaires is probably the best place to draw a distinction

Ron knows that this is how it all goes down and he's trying to save us.

But it very much fits the anti-intellectual, anti-science positioning of MAGA in general. Now adding in anti-technology, which would fit with the traditional leftist populist position of being anti-automation in order to protect the working class status quo.

Horse sh#t. You're better than this.

"Anti-intellectual"? No, anti-condescending arrogant intellectuals with no common sense
"Anti-science"? After COVID and with all the climate change hysteria you're typing that?
"Anti-automation"? "Anti-technology"? A healthy skepticism is a good thing here. One only has to look at the renewable energy scams out there and the recent cases of AI essentially talking kids into killing themselves to become quite jaded.

This politico article goes into DeSantis' public statements and positions on AI. His position is in contrast to Trump's position.

But it very much fits the anti-intellectual, anti-science positioning of MAGA in general.

My previous comment saying exactly this in this thread was deleted…

AI is driving US GDP growth:

IT equipment and software investment now reflects a record 4.5% of GDP.

This surpasses the previous peak seen in Q4 2000, now up +1.5 percentage points since Q3 2023.

Since Q3 2023, IT equipment and software investment has risen +$288 billion, or… pic.twitter.com/MORJNjuMMB

I've attempted to use AI many times and every time is wrong or half right, or puts together an email like a 6th grader.

Bring on AI the cream will rise.
