Some draft notes on 🇺🇸 AI Action Plan: > an overall very well written and thorough plan. when tech people were asking for a tech-friendly and pro-progress administration, this is the type of plans we were thinking of. (thank you @sriramk, @deanwball 🙏) > the fact that local state legislations lose power is a good thing. i used to think differently about this issue but this is an Action plan. the word says it all. it's to time act. fast. Tocquevillian AI can wait. > let's admit that the "no ideology" proposal is super weak and was probably added there for political/narrative reasons rather than tech. there is no such thing as "no ideology". > the focus on retraining the existing workforce (rather than just training the next generations) is great. as I have argued in the past, the O-ring to major AI adoption isn't tech or policies. it's individuals who are afraid of the new status quo. > the Compute Marketplace, Sandboxes for Adoption, Procurement toolboxes are small, practical ideas that can have big ripple effects. (I'd love to see @hyperbolic_labs helping to set up an open, fair, transparent marketplace) > very disappointed by the lack of sophisticated ideas on next-gen manufacturing. America is currently losing the war in Robotics and the new labor economy and I am surprised nobody is taking about it. > also disappointed that solar/wind energy aren't mentioned in the part about modernizing the grid. i am not sure where this aversion to solar/wind stems from but imo it's just wrong and myopic. > very happy to see the focus on good quality datasets. zk can definitely help here ensuring high-integrity data management.
