California is banking way too hard on people who want to work for companies that do not want to pay them enough to live there, do not want to pay them to work remotely, actively campaign against building more housing, and actively support immigration policies that continue to push down the wages of these individuals as well as make this "specialized" labor force less "specialized."
You would assume that there's a limit to what both the workers and the businesses are willing to put up with.

- epistasis 3y agoThis is for the employees that do not get paid enough to live in California, sure. But those employees are not the ones that caused OpenAI to start and headquarter in San Francisco. Its started there becuase of the employees that do get paid enough to live in the state comfortably, and benefit massively from the aggregation of capital and experience in the Bay Area. Perhaps somebody else can do the same elsewhere! Which would be interesting to see. California treats anybody with less than several million in net worth and less than $400k/year in household income absolutely terribly. But that's a far bigger impact than this proposed AI legislation.
