Ah, the land of the free and the home of the brave, where executive orders flow like overpriced craft beer at a political fundraiser—all foam, no substance. This week’s special on the American policy menu? Former President Donald Trump decided to rip up yet another piece of paper left behind by Joe Biden. This time, Biden’s 2023 executive order on artificial intelligence safety is the latest victim, and let’s just say, the AI apocalypse just got a little more... feral.

Biden’s Plan: Babysitting AI

Let’s start with what Biden’s order actually did (or tried to do). It aimed to slap a few training wheels on the runaway AI industry. Developers creating systems that could nuke national security, fry the economy, or deepfake your grandma into starring in the next viral meme had to hand over their safety tests to Uncle Sam. The order also pushed for standards around testing AI for chemical, biological, nuclear, and cybersecurity threats. Because, y’know, nothing screams “fun weekend project” like dodging Skynet.

The problem? Lawmakers haven’t managed to pass a single meaningful AI regulation. So Biden, in a rare moment of executive bravery, duct-taped a few rules together. Predictably, that duct tape is now shredded, and the AI toddler has been handed the keys to the flamethrower.

Trump’s Repeal: AI on the Loose

Trump’s argument? Biden’s order was stifling innovation—because nothing screams progress like handing AI developers a free pass to accidentally create a sentient blender that stages a coup. (You know, the kind of innovation that lets deepfakes ruin elections, scams bankrupt your grandma, and your toaster start sending you passive-aggressive texts.) The 2024 Republican Party platform declared that AI should be rooted in "free speech and human flourishing," which is political-speak for “Let’s wing it and hope the robot overlords are nice.”

But hey, at least Trump didn’t repeal Biden’s separate executive order to address the massive energy demands of advanced AI data centers. Leasing federal sites to keep servers running at warp speed? That stays. Even Trump knows not to mess with an opportunity for the government to cash in on AI’s insatiable electricity binge.

The Fallout: Free Speech or Free Fall?

The AI community is predictably divided. Advocates for regulation are nervously clutching their laptops, sweating over the rise of Skynet. Meanwhile, tech giants like Nvidia are probably out popping champagne and toasting to unregulated chaos. After all, the Commerce Department’s recent export restrictions on AI chips were already ruffling industry feathers. Now? It’s open season for developers to let their creations run wild. Cue the robotic Armageddon.

But let’s not forget the bigger picture. Generative AI isn’t just a tool for creating memes or plagiarizing essays. It’s a juggernaut poised to reshape jobs, economies, and, oh yeah, reality itself. Unchecked, it’s like tossing a loaded grenade into a crowded room and hoping no one pulls the pin.

The Verdict: Buckle Up

So, is Trump’s repeal a bold move for innovation or a reckless leap into an AI free-for-all? Depends on your tolerance for existential dread. One thing’s for sure: the future of artificial intelligence in the U.S. just got a lot more... unhinged. Whether that’s exciting or terrifying depends entirely on how much you trust humanity. (Spoiler: you shouldn’t.)

In the meantime, keep your eyes on the tech giants, the regulators, and the ever-entertaining three-ring circus that is U.S. politics. Skippy’s Broadcast will be here, reporting on the chaos with all the sarcasm you can handle.
