Wild California actually passed this, people joke about that state but I thought this was crazy even for them. The biggest points imo being >The Frontier Model Division has a wide scope to define the “perjury” charges the bill attaches to developers for end-user misconduct, including “the rigor and detail” of the developer’s safety protocols >So is any model trained with less compute but matching a 10^26 flops-model in “relevant benchmarks” (the bill doesn’t say which) >So is any model trained with less compute AND lower benchmarks, so long as it is of “similar general capability” (we do not know what this means) Actually legislating that the developer of the AI is liable for what end users do is absolutely wild. And the other clauses they added make this essentially apply to any developer AI that can form a sentence. They made the categories so broad that an argument could be made that the law applies to any AI at all.
