    Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this effectively toothless? Like executive orders only effect things directly under federal and more specifically executive purview meaning even a city government could pass a regulation on AI in their area and it’d have more legal weight than an executive order. Or are they abusing unrelated powers to declare that no one can regulate AI?

    Like I’m pretty sure the supremacy clause doesn’t apply to executive orders.

        They can write a law or they might as well eat that paper after he signs it, because it’s jus like him:

      Yes, you are correct. A federal law would preempt a state law, usually. But this is not a federal law, so it’s a load of kindling.

      Well no, because this order has zero legal weight. They are liars, though, for pretending it does.

      You mean those things that Republicans always whine about when some law comes on place that is good for everyone?

      In the trash, along with free speech absolutism and freedom of and from religion, concern about deficits, and so on…the cons have always lied about their so-called concerns and principles.

      Well no, because this is an executive order.

      Meaning it’s just like if you or I said “Delaware is not allowed to make new AI laws!”

      No one gives a shit, because this isn’t a law
