Republicans try to use the Budget Reconciliation bill to stop states from regulating AI entirely for 10 years.
A raindrop falls. It means nothing. One person experienced it perhaps. Overall it is negligible.
A few more drops fall. People affected might get umbrellas to keep dry as they see others affected.
But when the torrential rains fall, when the clouds are pregnant with stormy rage, umbrellas won’t protect from floodwaters.
Will they rain on us? Or will we rain on them?
The modern luddite may want to set their sights on certain data centers...
It's interesting how AI is the thing that caused so many people to suddenly go "wait, I actually love it when the government tells me what I'm allowed to do with my computer."
That is such a dishonest take. Per the article
"For example, last year California passed a law that requires health care providers to disclose when they have used generative AI to communicate clinical information to patients. In 2021, New York passed the first law in the United States requiring employers to conduct bias audits of AI tools used for employment decisions. California also passed a law that will go into effect in 2026 which requires developers of generative AI models to share detailed documentation on its websites about the data it used to develop these models, an extremely consequential law as AI companies are currently hiding their exploitation of copyrighted materials in order to create these models, as we have shown repeatedly. "
It doesn't mention it, but it would also prevent any environmental regulation around the data center that guzzle water and consume electricity like disinformation black holes.
Its not about personal use, it is about regulating corpos
Yeah because Joe Blow training a local model to make D&D characters for them is the problem.
Getouttahere with this, it's about massively multinational corporations playing speculative games with unthinkable amounts of data and capital, affecting the lives of millions, all with almost no public oversight.
What a broad and needlessly harmful thing to get them to get off their butts and attempt to legislate. Its so frustrating how comically evil these guys are.
