It’s unfortunate. But the good news is that state laws—such as California’s AI safety act (SB 1047)—typically take precedence over presidential executive orders.
Agreed. Rollback of environmental and financial executive orders is so much worse. For as many billions and CO2 they're burning the tech bros are a sideshow compared to threatening to enforce massive tariffs, invite massive governmental corruption, empower terrorist militias, invade allied countries and put immigrants in concentration camps.
I'm not saying rich douchebags like Musk and Zuck aren't dangerous. They are, but not because of AI nonsense but because they control Facebook and X. Musk did an actual Nazi salute at the inauguration.
AI is a sideshow. A hideously expensive and stupid sideshow, but a sideshow compared to more important issues like breaking up too large corporations, putting financial regulation back in place, and fixing wealth disparity.
Where did the companion site for “Taming Silicon Valley” go? I’m curious who pulled the plug on tamingsiliconvalley.org and scrubbed it from the way back machine. This seems like a bad time to back down. This seems like a good time to be brave. This seems like a good time to defy copyright and xerox a certain call to action I recently read…

Definitely the AI item is tiny potatoes. Not that anybody gave a damn about that order in any case.

This looks and feels like one of those Asian historical dramas where the incoming emperor undos everything the last one did.

We really need a new framework for safety now.
Just wrote about this yesterday.
Comprehensive governance framework should be every firm's responsibility. I would hope we don't need federal orders to be smart and responsible.
I, too, would hope we don't need such to be smart and responsible. Remind me when we didn't.
Smart? Responsible? Sane?
Who? Us?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
