Do you really think having 50 completely different regulatory regimes is somehow better? This isn't so bad. Also, since when did HN become pro-tech-regulation

  HN shifts when tech becomes dangerous. There has been a shift against destructive social media and addictive phones too.

Yes, that is a less bad problem than a law that bans any enforcement of such regulations. 50 different sets of regulation just means that companies will change policy to adhere to the most strict of them (presumably California's) and be done with it.

  Idk what Libertarian dreamland you people live in. Go try and live in a country with no regulations for things like pollution, hazardous waste, aviation safety, etc, etc and let us know how long you last. Powerful technologies necessarily can be dangerous. AI is going to be a major change driver and honestly if you deny that it's an incredibly powerful technology then I don't know what else to say.

    On the contrary, I often mention here just how transformative I expect it to be. I think AI is still being underestimated by a lot of people here. That's exactly why I want more people to have it and more smaller companies to be able to build things with it. 50 different regulatory regimes will make that much harder and lead to more centralization. This isn't even libertarian. I don't care if the government has good regulations, but diffuse local regulations for national companies is not the answer.
