Disagree:

1) Our geopolitical adversaries like China will not pause/throttle and develop a massive advantage with economic & national security implications.

2) Regulation stifles progress & innovation while also driving capital out of the sector.

3) You can not trust the California legislature and their regulatory apparatus to fairly & effectively manage this without weaponizing it.

You make some good points. This guy does as well : The Pros and Cons of California's Proposed SB-1047 AI Safety Law - Gabriel Weil

I don't think it's going to slow down innovation because it's too exciting right now, but I am concerned about political control.

 @InnocentOctopusNo Labels from Missouri  agreed…2yrs2Y

You’re right that innovation has “always found away” and that trait is part of the Silicon Valley culture’s past successes. It’s the political control which (just today again by Zuck’s admissions of censorship) has demonstrated we cannot trust centralized power with these things.

 @PollsterAlexaGreen from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Don't be fooled, the government will continue to advance AI, it's us who will be limited.

 @BureaucratDonnyLibertarianfrom Maine  agreed…2yrs2Y

Precisely. Like with every other regulation is will become “rules for thee, but not for me” when it comes to the government themselves or their ideologically-selected crony companies.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
