Gavin Newsom vetoed sweeping AI safety bill, siding with Silicon Valley. California’s battle took on outsize dimensions because the bill would have set a de facto national standard for the technology.
Don't worry, I'll be reminding crackers of this in 2028 or 2032 when they inevitably field this bazinga-ghoul against fuckin. God Emperor Bannon or some shit. God death to the settlers, death to the techbros, death to Amerika.
“I do not believe this is the best approach to protecting the public from real threats posed by the technology,"
And will offer no real alternatives either as usual
What's the point of passing the bill if they're not willing to override the veto? They're just letting Gavin Newsom be the spoiler, even though others would step up to spoil if he did not
the CA congress hasn't over-rode (overriden? overrid?) a veto since somewhere around 1980. the point of passing the bill but not overriding the veto is that way the congresspeople can signal to their constituents that they are progressive but they don't actually have to change anything or make anything better.
I'm seriously surprised that Elon Musk got scratched so fast. The democratic party has glazed that guy for so long and Elon deciding to abandon his previous brand to be the spokesman of the new GOP is how he thanks them?
NGL, I'm a little bit angry on behalf of the democrats.
ELO~N has 6% approval among polled Democrats right now. He shat the bed, hard, during his scratched liberal phase. I think it was something as petty as getting less attention on Twitter than Biden at some point, or something petty and catty like that.
Democrats being spineless cowards as usual. They're still relentlessly mocked by the same people whose scorn they so vehemently fear. What's even the point?
Democrats please just change your mascot to a chicken, because that's what y'all are.
Most newest AI models aren't allowed to be used in the EU, because Meta, Google, etc are training them on random people's personal data. So they just pulled out of the EU, instead of fixing their training data. More or less as a punishment to the EU for daring to regulate AI.
Fucking awesome being a burgerlander. I’d like to think of myself as a hardened warrior conditioned by the most grueling conditions worldwide kkkapistan has to offer. Or a hamster if you want to be a douche >:
I don’t know that I’d really call being denied access to AI a “punishment,” if people in my region were blocked from using AI I would call that a “blessing”
the people with more power, capital, and influence are more likely to be pro-cutting edge technology because they also don't care about potential ramifications on society
