Coatesville Dems: Is this Trump’s I’ll show Elon who’s boss triumph? Blue state governors can regulate AI

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Is this Trump’s I’ll show Elon who’s boss triumph? Blue state governors can regulate AI

OHH THAT’S RICH

This Chinese Energy Bill, aka Big Bloated Abomination aka make poor kids sick and starve bill is an absolute disaster for the United States.

And yet, it could have been worse, if Democrats hadn’t been the driving force to rip out a provision that would have virtually guaranteed severe, rampant, long-term economic destruction in the United States.

This is the provision even Marjorie Taylor Greene hated, even though she voted for it by accident, because she didn’t read the bill before voting.

The Ted Cruz, Project 2025, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreesson, Palantir-backed law that would have banned states from regulating AI for a catastrophic 10 years.

Why is this so important?

Look no further than the invention of the Internet.

Bill Clinton’s leadership strictly and purposefully built ethical guardrails into the development of the Internet, resulting in the delivery of a platform for commerce and information that has been fast, equal, and beneficial for consumers and business owners alike, creating an incalculable flood of wealth that has been as important to billionaires as it has been important to freelancers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

But if you recall the battle over net neutrality, the development of the Internet would have been a wildly different process had Republicans been in charge.

Great power brings great responsibility.

And if there’s one thing Republicans are even worse at than they are at wielding power, it’s taking responsibility for the consequences of their mistakes.

This is why I am quietly ecstatic that of the many terrible things this law will do, preventing blue-state governors from regulating AI will not be one of them.

Because these are the leaders who understand the power and potential of AI, and they will be the ones building a more ethical, more even playing field for the development of AI than we would have seen if technofascist billionaires got their way through Ted Cruz.

And then, as this powerful and inevitable force rolls out across the global economy over the coming years, the importance of electing a president in 2028 who deeply understands and appreciates our role in the exciting, yet sobering AI revolution, will only grow in its urgency.

If only we had a leader willing and capable of ignoring the noise and distractions, in order to thoughtfully learn from these blue-state leaders and implement a vision for AI that both leads and protects, ensuring AI is a force for good, for all, and not a force by billionaires, for billionaires.

If only. If only we had a leader like Pete Buttigieg.
