Nvidia CEO Takes Opposite POV, Wants AI Developed As Fast As Possible

By William Teach September 19, 2026 – 10:30 am

So, it’s not going to kill us all?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls for AI to be developed “as fast as we can”

The CEO of the world’s largest chipmaker told CBS News that tech companies should push forward with the development of artificial intelligence despite recent warnings from worried industry leaders that there may be a need to pull back due to unease about where the technology could be headed.

“We should go as fast as we can irrespective of anybody else,” Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told CBS News senior business and technology correspondent Jo Ling Kent in an interview airing this weekend on “Sunday Morning,” when asked if AI development needs to slow down.

“We’re going to go as fast as we can, but we would never ever, and never should, ship products before they’re ready, deliver products that are unsafe,” Huang said. “And nobody’s expecting us to do that. But everybody’s expecting us to succeed and help America be as prosperous as possible.”

It’s nice to see a different take than the doom and gloom. But, then there’s this twat

Oh, good, more incentive for tech companies to leave California and take their money and jobs with them. Mostly, though, Gavin is suffering from TDS. Oh, and certainly looking to increase the size of his stock portfolio.

If You Think Your Product Could Wipe Out Humanity, It Shouldn’t Exist

…

Now, it struck some as odd for Amodei and Hubinger to come out and say that AI development needs to slow down, since, well, they’re the ones doing it. In the New York Times, Sebastian Mallaby praised Amodei for having the “courage to stand in front of an express train and yell at it to slow down.” A more accurate analogy would be if the driver of a speeding train published an essay explaining why the train ought to slow down. Figures in the Trump administration, scoffing at calls for regulation, said that if Amodei is so concerned with safety, he can go ahead and make his product more safe. “If you’re building Frankenstein,” said JD Vance, then “stop.” (Respecters of literature will wince at Vance forgetting that Frankenstein is the scientist, not the monster.) Top Trump tech adviser David Sacks said fears about AI are overblown and companies should self-regulate if they deem it necessary. Trump himself said his very high IQ would keep us safe from any problems caused by AI. Meanwhile, Congress largely slumbered, with the notable exception of Bernie Sanders, the one senator who can be relied on to occasionally give a damn. Sanders is so alarmed by AI that he swallowed his vomit and stood alongside Steve Bannon to condemn the irresponsible tech oligarchs and push for reform.

It is still a bit of a doomy article, with some serious run-on paragraphs, but, the headline is correct. AI was not designed as a weapon, so, if there is a “10% chance that it could wipe out humanity by 2030”, then shut it down.

Illinois Releases Climate (scam) Plan

By William Teach September 19, 2026 – 7:15 am

Damn, isn’t this something that the People’s Republik Of Illinois should have passed years ago along with the other climahysteric liberal states?

Illinois EPA releases ‘Comprehensive Climate Action Plan’ to reach ‘net zero’ emissions

Illinois has made substantial progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in recent years, but it is not yet on track to meet its goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

That’s the conclusion of a new Comprehensive Climate Action Plan released this month by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

To reach that goal, the report suggests Illinois will need to enact significant changes across virtually every sector of its economy, including transportation, building construction, manufacturing, agriculture and waste disposal.

Hey, I’m missing the part where the elected politicians, leftist bureaucrats, and state employees have to make massive changes and stop using fossil fuels.

The Comprehensive Climate Action Plan is intended to provide a roadmap for Illinois to reduce its carbon footprint to as little as 72% below its 2005 baseline. It also outlines two scenarios under which Illinois could virtually eliminate all carbon emissions.

Those would involve a combination of incentive packages and regulatory changes that would affect nearly every sector of the economy. But doing so, the report suggests, would produce $21 billion a year in net economic benefits.

The document outlines a laundry list of additional actions Illinois could take to reduce its carbon footprint even further, starting with providing rebates and other incentives to convert all forms of commercial vehicles, including medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, to electric.

It also proposes new regulations on residential and commercial buildings. Those include adopting clean heat standards that would require a 22% reduction in emissions from natural gas by 2035, offering subsidies to install heat pumps in residential homes, adopting all-electric construction codes for new construction and phasing out gasoline-powered lawn and landscaping equipment by 2035.

It also proposes additional regulations for industrial activities such as requiring net zero emissions from cement production by 2050 and requiring reductions in emissions intensity of cement, glass, iron and steel used in public construction.

I’m still missing the part involved politicians

One plan, called the “moderate efficiency and flexibility” scenario, assumes full electrification of buildings by 2050 with 32% of households using hybrid heat pumps. It also assumes a rapid expansion of electric vehicles.

LOL, the sale of EVs has crashed without the $7,500 tax credit. How many Illinois politicians drive EVs themselves? How about the governor and those around him?

Wacko Appeals Court Rules Against 3rd Country Deportations

By William Teach September 19, 2026 – 7:00 am

Seriously, the Supreme Court ruled back in 2025 that they were cool with it, so, really, when it makes it back to SCOTUS they will rule in favor

Appeals court says Trump administration’s third-country deportation policy is unlawful

The Trump administration’s policy on deporting immigrants to third countries is unlawful, a federal appeals court ruled Friday, a decision that could halt a program that has already sent thousands of people to countries that are not their own.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit unanimously agreed with a lower court judge’s decision in February that the Department of Homeland Security’s policy violates due process rights by failing to give migrants sufficient notice and a chance to raise fear-based claims to contest their deportations to third countries.

The appeals court’s decision marks a major setback for the administration, which has sought to establish third-country deportations as a key part of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Since Trump took office last year, DHS has sent more than 25,000 migrants to third countries, mostly in Latin America and Africa, according to public records. The program has raised fierce objections from congressional Democrats and legal challenges from human rights advocates who say the deportees face dangerous conditions and inhumane treatment in the countries where they are being sent.

Maybe just let us repatriate them to their home countries? Or, they can choose where they want to go, and we’ll put them on a plane.

Legal experts said the administration is likely to appeal to the Supreme Court and seek a stay on the 1st Circuit’s decision that would allow DHS to continue sending migrants to third countries. For now, however, the deportation flights should be immediately grounded, said Trina Realmuto, executive director of the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, who was among the team of attorneys who brought the class-action case.

“This is a huge win,” she said. “All those deportation flights should not be taking off because the policy under which people got put on planes and targeted for removal is unlawful.”

Blah Blah Blah. Let’s not forget that Trump has won almost every immigration case when it hit the Supreme Court.

NY Times Notices Goracle Is Still Banging The ‘Climate Change’ Doom Drum

By William Teach September 18, 2026 – 3:27 pm

They fail to answer their own question in reality land, though

Al Gore Is Still Sounding the Alarm About Climate Change

Good morning. It’s Friday. Today we’ll find out why former Vice President Al Gore still sees a moral argument about the dangers of a warming planet. We’ll also get details on the city ‘s plan to remake part of Park Avenue.

Why? Money. He still sees lots of money in this. Did anyone at the Times wonder about Gore taking a fossil fueled flight from Malibu for climate week? Or that he sold his TV station for $20 million to Al Jazeera, which is backed by the petrostate of Qatar?

It has been 20 years since the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” came out, and former Vice President Al Gore — who wrote and narrated it — continues to make a moral argument about the dangers of a warming planet. Today he will take it to a church.

The movie that had so many falsehoods in it that a British court ruled against it being used in schools?

“The moral case is the central case,” he said in a conversation that served as a prelude to an event in which he is a headliner — an event called “The Immorality of Inaction: Voicing Truth on Climate.” It will take place at Riverside Church, whose neo-Gothic structure in Morningside Heights, as it happens, was mainly financed by John D. Rockefeller Jr., the son of the founder of Standard Oil.

Others who are scheduled to appear include Bishop William Barber II, a civil-rights leader and an ordained minister in the Disciples of Christ denomination, and Alexis Abramson, the dean of Columbia University’s Climate School.

Oh, cool, a bunch of other grifters present, as well. If this is all so moral, why does Gore, and all the other cultists, refuse to make his own life carbon neutral? It is fantastic that throughout this NY Times article we see zero journalistic skepticism.

Democrats Go On A Scaremongering AI Rampage

By William Teach September 18, 2026 – 10:30 am

Let me note again that today’s AI isn’t truly intelligent. It’s not even close to having, let’s say, sentience. So, what’s up with all the fearporn from Democrats?

Does Champ not realize that he could call on Congress to do this? That if Trump demanded Congress convene that Democrats would call him a dictator?

Warner has been rage tweeted. And Ted Lieu. And NY Senator Lisa Blunt. And Rep Yassamin Ansar. And many, many, many more. It’s almost like this was coordinated by Democrats

And Josh, too. Hey, can we take a look at their stock portfolios? Oh, and of some Republicans, too?

LOL: UK Committee Wants To Rename “Net Zero”

By William Teach September 18, 2026 – 7:15 am

Shades of changing it from (anthropogenic) global warming to (anthropogenic) climate change. Hot garbage is still hot garbage even if you call it, say, searing refuse

Scrap the term ‘net zero’ — it’s too toxic, net zero committee urges

climate doom yearly

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

The term “net zero” should be scrapped because it has “become a lightning rod for opposition to climate action”, the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee has recommended.

The influential committee of MPs argued that the term has become toxic among the public, warning that the “political consensus” in the UK around tackling climate change had “broken down” and that cost of living pressures in Britain had led to a “scapegoating of the transition” to net zero.

Calling for a major rebranding of the effort to tackle climate change, the committee said the term “net zero” had “lost much of its significant positive association”.

Instead, they argued it has become a distraction, saying it should be removed from the name of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) as well as from its “key communications”.

But, it will be rebranded, and the agenda will continue

“The term net zero has become a distraction from the broader aims and the benefits of the energy transition and the politics of the energy transition have become mired in a stale debate on the cost and feasibility of achieving an emissions target.

“The public debate fails to reflect the wider benefits of engaging with the transition or the costs of not tackling climate change. Continued delivery of the UK’s targets for the energy transition will need more substantive communications of the need for change and the benefits will need to be more directly experienced by those being asked to change”.

You know, maybe it might have continued to be popular if it didn’t end with skyrocketing costs for Brits and a further loss of liberty, oh, and that the Elites pushing this never practice what they force on the peasants.

Florida Republican Who Wants Amnesty Criticizes Trump On Immigration

By William Teach September 18, 2026 – 7:00 am

You remember Rep. María Elvira Salazar, right? She’s the one pushing the “Dignity Act“, which is pretty much a Bush 43 level amnesty plan

House GOP lawmaker under fire by fellow Republicans after ad bashing Trump on immigration

A House GOP lawmaker’s pointed message to President Donald Trump criticizing his immigration policy is under fire from her Republican colleagues.

Rep. María Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., released a campaign ad Thursday that attacked Trump’s handling of immigration enforcement, specifically arguing he has gone too far in pursuing people without criminal records.

“President Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts should be applauded and continue as is,” House Freedom Caucus leaders said in an official statement first shared with Fox News Digital.

“Any alien who enters this country illegally has committed a crime. The United States should deport every illegal alien. This is America, and this government should be ensuring the dignity of American citizens. Illegal aliens can enjoy dignity in their home country or come to this country legally.

“Granting illegal aliens any legal status to remain in the United States is amnesty. We reject amnesty. The House Freedom Caucus stands with President Trump: secure the border, enforce the law, and lock these policies into statute, so no future administration can erase them with a pen.”

Yeah, but, she’s pretty much at the level of “it’s not really amnesty” amnesty that Bush 43, Lindsay Graham, and other squishy Republicans pushed during Bush’s 2nd term.

The ad takes place outside the White House, with Salazar directly addressing the camera.

“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far,”
Salazar said. “Be careful what your advisors are telling you about immigration policy. The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.

“You can be for immigration what Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. I’m not talking about giving them amnesty. I’m talking about giving them a dignified life in this promised land. And only you can do that.”

Piss off. They can have a dignified life in their home countries. It matters not they have not committed crimes other than illegal entry. The law is the law.

Microsoft: Uncontrolled AI Could Lead To Scary Silicon Species

By William Teach September 17, 2026 – 10:30 am

My favorite part about all this is who most news articles show zero journalistic skepticism

Uncontrolled AI could lead to ‘silicon species’ rivalling humans, warns Microsoft

The head of Microsoft AI has warned that without adequate safeguards, the development of AI could lead to the emergence of a new “silicon species” which competes with humans.

Mustafa Suleyman said rival firm Anthropic is treating AI like it is human, an approach he called “misguided” which could create technology that humanity cannot control.

Speaking to the BBC’s Today programme, the chief executive said it was “right” for people to be concerned about AI, but there were “very practical things that we can do” to control it.

The comments are the latest in a series of stark warnings from the AI industry about the technology’s possible dangers. Anthropic has been approached for comment.

Speaking to the Today programme on Thursday, Suleyman warned against firms continuing to create AI systems capable of setting their own objectives, earning money and owning assets.

That would mean “essentially seeding a new silicon species”, he said, which could “no doubt compete with us for resources, no matter how much it cares about humanity and loves us”.

And those “very practical things” to avoid a new silicon species killing us all would be government rules and regulations which end up allowing all the big companies, like Microsoft, to continue operating while making it really, really hard for small companies and start ups, right?

Dame Wendy Hall, professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton, described the comments as “the sort of conversation we need to be having internationally”, contrasting it with the “histrionics” from some AI companies which she said only served to “scare everyone”.

OK, someone is being skeptical, good. But, really, do we need to have conversations? AI is not really truly intelligent. It’s just really, really good software based on math and algorithms. It does not think for itself. It does not reason. Anything it learns is simply data derived from code. The code is fantastic, but, it’s not Skynet. Ava from Ex Machina. I, Robot, or Metropolis, or M3gan, or Companion. Or any number of movies where the computer code was thinking for itself, exceeding it’s programming, where it can truly learn across many subjects and truly understands. Today’s AI is not even freaking close. There’s no autonomy. Sure, it can fool people within a narrow subject. But, there’s no heart or soul. It’s like listening to all those stupid songs made with sounds recorded to a computer long ago and now put out there versus people actually playing instruments.

Anyhow, since Anthropic was mentioned, since they seem to be the leader in the doomy histrionics

Anthropic policy chief says AI companies can’t be expected to operate on ‘honor code’

Sarah Heck, Anthropic’s head of public policy, said she doesn’t think artificial intelligence companies can manage oversight and safety concerns by following an “honor code.”

“We want to work with government to figure out what makes sense,” Heck said Wednesday at the Politico Decoded Summit in Washington. “We can’t be checking our own homework, and that’s very clear.”

Heck’s comments come days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rocked the tech sector by calling on the industry to deliberately slow the pace of model development. Amodei proposed a three-step plan on Saturday to temper how quickly model capabilities improve without “sacrificing commercial advantage or the United States’ lead in AI.”

So, the problem is not the AI, the problem is that the company is irresponsible, full of irresponsible leaders who are admitting they are irresponsible. Seriously, would the regulations look more like what government did with telecommunications (phones) early on, or like when deregulation happened and the explosion of phone use happened from the 80s (that’s a long explanation), leading to today’s cellphone system?

The real reason why Donald Trump is so furiously against AI guardrails

Washington’s biggest question this week: Why is President Donald Trump so furiously against an AI slowdown in the wake of apocalyptic warnings from some top industry executives?

The clue is in one word — “hoax” — that he’s using to ridicule fears that computerized agents could one day seek to destroy humanity.

When Trump reaches for the H-word, two things are usually happening: He’s facing a controversy threatening his political or personal priorities, and he’s lost control of the politics.

The very fact that CNN calls it “politics” shows there is no real concern. What would be fun is if Trump came out and said “I support big regulation on AI, let’s do it.” I bet most Liberal outlets would suddenly be like “Meh, this is no big deal”, like when the Washington Post initially referred to COVID-19 as a slightly bad cold.
