Trump retains strong support among base, but challengers emerge at CPAC conference
CPAC dominated by Trump and supporters, but DeSantis also popular; unclear if Trump's appeal extends beyond loyalists.
The annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was held this weekend in Washington, where former President Donald Trump, his family, and supporters dominated the event. Attendees wore "Make America Great Again" stickers, purchased Trump hats and shirts, and even posed for pictures next to a mock Oval Office. Trump gave a speech at the conference, where he spoke of completing the mission and finishing what he started. Many speakers at the event talked about themes close to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considered a potential presidential candidate. DeSantis, who did not attend CPAC, has been busy building his national profile and meeting with potential campaign donors. While the event was heavily weighted towards Trump, several Republican figures also spoke at the conference, including Haley and Pompeo. Trump's supporters at the conference chanted "Four more years!" and, in a straw poll, 62% of attendees said they intend to vote for him in the next election. However, while Trump's influence over the Republican Party's grassroots base is apparent, it remains unclear whether his appeal extends beyond his loyalists. Many polls suggest that many Republicans are seeking an alternative candidate, such as Ron DeSantis.

The large language model has no single intended use, so regulators are struggling to regulate its potential to create harmful and misleading content. The EU Council and European Parliament have proposed to put AI systems generating complex texts without human oversight on the "high-risk" list. ChatGPT itself agrees and says that it may need regulating.
