Speaking at an Irish golf event, Trump dismissed AI safety concerns, saying the US must stay the most sophisticated AI power and criticizing what he called "negative forces" raising the issue.
“And we can put guardrails. We can do this and that. But I think you have a lot of negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn't be bringing it up.”

How many times do these people need to be wrong before a majority of candidates tell them to shut the fuck up?
-
W
Democrats aren't going to do anything to regulate AI. This is why.
-
Probably paid by the AI industry to advise candidates a certain way. Stealth insider lobbyists.
-
The same consultants who told Tim Walz to stop calling MAGA weird?
-
Democratic “strategists” is an oxymoron. They literally got Trump elected twice. As a candidate you’d better your odds significantly by doing the exact opposite of whatever they say, without needing any further information or context.
-
Impressive how they can be wrong about literally everything
-
Almost makes you wonder whose side these guys are really on. Oh yeah, the side with the money. This is not a left/ right issue; it’s right versus wrong.
-
"If you oppose this unpopular thing too strongly, unpopular people will spend their money to tell the voters you're against this unpopular thing." How do people get paid to be this stupid?
-
No, that’s not how it works. The ad spending isn’t usually issue-related. For example, all the crypto money spent against Sherrod Brown in 2024 went to ads about his record on trans rights and immigration.
-
Don’t do anything that might upset donors just to get voters and win a majority! After all, why are you in politics? To win or make money?
-
That’s Geoff Garrin and he’s on here if you want to yell at him.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
-
Strategists: “Throw immigrants and trans people under the bus because polling” Pol: “Alright I’m going to go really hard on AI/Data Centers then since those are so hated” Strategist: “Whoa Whoa that’s different… Those people have money”
-
Schumer’s daughter is a lobbyist for OpenAI now…
-
That these people get millions of dollars just to be incredibly wrong is a freakin disgrace. This is why I don't donate to general Dem orgs like the DNC or DCCC. Strategists! Losers! Corporate Fckholes! I donate to candidates that have integrity, listen to constituents re: what they'll do in office.
-
Prime example of the pernicious influence of money in politics Or, if the need for campaign finance money from corporations and/or the rich and powerful *wasn’t* so important, does anyone think politicians would seek to downplay a topic that *people on both sides are strongly against*?
-
I'm curious to see how this is Hasan Piker's fault.
-
If elected officials temper AI oversight because they fear what wealthy tech interests might spend against them, we have a problem much larger than AI. Public policy should be shaped by the public interest, not by who can afford the biggest political retaliation.
-
STOP GIVING MONEY TO 'DEM CONSULTANTS. ' They're W R O N G. Tim Walz should have kept calling the MAGA people weird. And Dem candidates should go MUCH MUCH HARDER on AI moguls.
-
"We were way fucking incorrect in that last election. Our bad. But we need to be careful not to overcorrect. One way we can make sure we don't overcorrect is by doing the exact same stuff as last time."
-
Democratic consultants are the main reason the government is currently run by fascists. They'd rather lose than upset their corporate overlords. And that's exactly what keeps happening.
-
The call is coming from inside the house
-
I guarantee all of the background quotes are Reid Hoffman, who invests in AI and is already frothing and exercised about candidates saying "please don't exterminate the Palestinians"
-
👏🏽👏🏼 And plz name names! These puds need to be harassed 🪧🥁📢💥
