What would the effect of hysteria from technologists achieve? If you think it’s a really big issue, why don’t you own the problem? You could just go turn off the trillions in AI spending and destroy computing as we know it. No cop-outs, rem

I’m more curious in the genesis of these laws, whether their sponsors received written suggestions or ghostwritten bills, etc. as a form of parallel construction. It seems all at once, everywhere that many groups that have a vested interest
