I mean, in what other way would he do it, than the single dumbest way imaginable?
AI industry says
I don’t care.
They funded his campaign. Serves them right.
AI industry says
Aww, did a wittle wepard eat your pwecious wittle face off?
Yay I finally get to make a “both sides are awful” argument and be right
Trump shitting on the AI industry has a certain poetry about it
Would be great if it was just the AI industry, but it’s simply expanding what tech is subject to tariffs, so its the people that pay the price. Couldn’t afford that RAM already, so I guess it doesn’t matter right?
It would be so fucking funny if Trump crashed the AI “industry”
While I’m sure the end result will be worse for us in a lot of other ways, one thing i found oddly positive is how his stupid decisions are going to fuck things up:
Most absurdly, given the priorities of Trump’s AI Action Plan, that tariff approach would cost the US about $90 billion annually in GDP losses and cause about 20 percent of data center projects planned through 2030 to be delayed or canceled
Trump is literally demented but the ghouls around him are not.
The plan is plainly obvious.
The big guys will bribe him and get exceptions which means their competition who can’t pay are at a detriment.
Trump gets bribes.
They both juice the market knowing the above.
That’s a good point. Those 20% of data centers getting cancelled were probably planned by the smaller companies i suppose…
He simply cannot do anything but in the dumbest way.
Don’t worry, TACO.
Trump is finally waking up to the deep, bipartisan unpopularity of AI and AI datacentres. Aside: the “single dumbest way imaginable” is the GOP brand.
To be fair, he probably asked AI what to do, so yeah.
He thinks this is a quick way to reduce the US’s $40T debt. It won’t.
He doesn’t give one shit about the US debt and neither do the Republicans backing him.
If the Dems ever get back in they will start screaming about it sure but why would they care about some made up number.
The Epstein class can just go hang out on their yacht they are not patriots.
He doesn’t give one shit about the US debt
True., but he is an emotionally delicate diva and I think he realizes that his approval is at the lowest level ever. He wants people to think he’s great. Why else would he constantly post on social media and post cringe videos on Tiktok unironically?
Heartwarming: the worst industry possible has a correct take on something for once.
Fuck all of them.
That’s right, single dumbest thing is taxing chips… Not starting wars, sending people to die, killing people, breaking the average American, screwing over every person on the planet. No lets call it a list e at taxing chips.
The article doesn’t say this is the dumbest thing he ever did. It just says this is the dumbest way he could have done this particular thing.
If we’re being technical, the article is saying someone told the writer that its the dumbest way to do this particular thing.
Technically correct, best kind of correct.
I’m here for the spirit, but your reading comprehension could use some work. The title doesn’t say it’s the dumbest thing he has done. It says he is doing this particular thing in the dumbest way.
