🗣️ Trump’s Game-Changing AI Strategy

Guess what?

The Trump administration just unveiled its AI Action Plan, and let me tell you, it’s a complete 180 from the cautious approach we’ve seen before.

Instead of tiptoeing around AI risks, it’s all about build, build, build. The plan’s overall vibe leans heavily on: Speed over safety, innovation over regulation, and beating China at all costs.

Let’s break it down:

  • AI Infrastructure Madness: Forget waiting for things to slow down. The plan calls for data centers everywhere, even on federal lands—yup, that means using up land that’s normally off-limits. The goal? To power the AI industry faster than a Tesla on ludicrous mode, even if it messes with energy grids sometimes.

  • Deregulation Galore: Basically, the plan wants to cut through red tape like a hot knife through butter. We’re talking easier approvals for tech companies to set up shop, build infrastructure, and get things running. The push here is for faster approvals for anything AI-related, including on federal lands (think national parks and military bases).

  • Race Against China: If you thought the AI race wasn’t political, think again. A huge chunk of the plan is about locking out foreign tech—especially anything from China. That means no Chinese-made chips or hardware in the U.S. supply chain, keeping everything secure and, well, American.

  • Free Speech, Not Free Bias: One of the most talked-about parts of the plan is the “free speech” clause. Trump’s team is scrubbing federal AI models of any “biased” influences—especially around things like climate change, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and misinformation. The idea is to push for AI models that are “neutral”, but defining what “neutral” really means? Still a mystery.

  • Open-Source AI Gets a Boost: You might be surprised, but Trump’s team is all about giving a shot to open-source AI models. They want to support startups and researchers by giving them access to super-expensive computing power (stuff usually reserved for the big boys like Google and Microsoft). If you’ve ever felt like only the big players had the upper hand, this part of the plan is for you.

  • National Security: Oh, and did we mention national security? It’s a huge focus. Trump wants to ensure the U.S. military and defense systems have the best AI on the planet, but that also means keeping a close eye on China and anyone else trying to mess with their tech. We’re talking constant assessments of how other countries are using AI and making sure the U.S. is staying ahead in the race.

  • Bias-Free” AI Contracts: The government is now looking to only contract with AI companies that can prove their models are free from bias. And this isn’t just about politics; the aim is to find AI that’s as neutral as possible. But again—defining the word "neutral" is a lot harder than it sounds. So yeah, we’re in for some bumpy rides trying to figure that one out.

  • A Big Play on Jobs: On top of everything, Trump’s AI plan is big on upskilling workers. Think new jobs in AI-related fields like data centers, because someone’s gotta run all this shiny new tech.

  • AI Safety: Oh yeah, they’re not ignoring the dangerous sides of AI. The plan includes provisions for AI safety, like hackathons to test for vulnerabilities and ensuring AI doesn’t get used for things like cyberattacks or bioweapons. So yeah, they’re trying to keep the good stuff in check.

But hey, the details of how this plan plays out are still being figured out. The plan is in fact more like a blueprint than a step-by-step guide, so while the direction is clear—Progress—how it all goes down is still TBD.

In a nutshell: The Trump administration’s AI Action Plan wants to throw caution to the wind and build, build, build—which isn’t surprising, considering it was crafted by a team of tech and AI insiders, many with roots in Silicon Valley.

Now, whether it works or turns into a messy race to the bottom? Well, that’s the gamble.

But one thing’s for sure: it’s a whole new ballgame, and the U.S. is going all-in.

Here’s the Plan’s draft in case you’re interested in the nerdy details.

🦾 The AI Assistant That Puts Privacy First

Proton’s new AI assistant, Lumo, is officially here, and it’s throwing some serious shade at OpenAI and the rest of the AI crowd.

Why? Because privacy isn’t just a bonus—it’s the whole point.

Imagine a chatbot that’s all about you, not about collecting your data for the greater good of AI development. That’s essentially Lumo.

While OpenAI and others are more focused on data collection, Lumo takes the opposite route—showing off its zero-log policy and end-to-end encryption like a badge of honor.

Here’s the deal:

  • It keeps no logs: Your chats aren’t stored. So whether it’s your deepest secrets or late-night ramblings, they vanish when you’re done.

  • No data training: Lumo doesn’t use your conversations to train its AI. What you say stays yours.

  • End-to-end encryption means your conversations are locked tighter than a WhatsApp chat.

  • Ghost Mode makes your chat history vanish as soon as you close the window—talk about privacy on steroids.

What’s crazy? You don’t even need an account to start chatting. Just jump in, ask questions, upload files, and boom—you’ve got a chatbot that respects your privacy like a digital bodyguard.

And if you’ve got Proton Drive, Lumo can dig into your files and answer your questions about them.

In short, Proton is basically saying: "We’re not like the rest."

There are no shady partnerships with OpenAI or other third party Big Techs. Everything’s built on open-source models and runs from Proton’s European data centers, meaning no one’s selling or snooping on your data.

So, if you're someone who likes to keep things clean and private, Lumo is your new AI bestie.

And when it comes to performance? It might not always pull the latest search results. But for everything else—you’ll have to try it yourself to see.

In all, if you're looking for a chatbot that doesn’t treat your data like its personal training ground, Lumo’s here to show the other guys how it's done.

Look it up here.

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: AI-Powered Study Coach

Studying smarter—not just harder—starts with having a plan that actually fits you. An AI-powered study coach can help you create a personalized, flexible, and motivating daily schedule based on your goals, energy levels, and real-life commitments.

Whether you're prepping for finals, mastering a new skill, or juggling multiple subjects, this prompt helps you generate a dynamic, high-performance study plan that adapts to your life and evolves with your progress.

Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively:

  1. Be specific about your goals. Mention what you're studying for (e.g., high school exams, bar exam, learning Python), so the AI can prioritize topics accordingly.

  2. Share your schedule. Mention your available hours for study, any fixed commitments, and when you feel most alert or tired.

  3. Mention your current level. Note if you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in each subject so the AI can adjust difficulty and review intervals.

  4. Share any special needs or preferences. For example, if you prefer short bursts of study, need visual aids, or want reminders for breaks or hydration.

  5. Mention motivation hacks. Do you respond better to rewards, challenges, timers, or checklists? The plan can include those.

  6. Pro Tip: Update regularly. This prompt can be reused weekly (or even daily) with new inputs to adjust your learning as needed.
