House GOP is pushing a 10yr federal ban on state-level AI regulation. This would override laws in CA, CO, UT & TN, aiming to prevent a mashup of rules. Realistically, this strips states of power to protect their residents. Like when AI *swears* the safe internal temp for 🍗 is 102F [it's 165F, btw] - ThreadSky

While looking up how to whiten pillows, AI told me to mix chlorine bleach and vinegar. 😵‍💫 this combination creates a deadly chlorine gas.

I haven’t trusted it since.

That’s basically a gas bomb 😳. I’ve asked ChatGPT simple questions and get wrong answers. We are nowhere near useable ai to replace people.

What’s worse, I I literally wrote a whole (published in a national magazine) about DIY cleaners and HUGE cautions on what not to mix together. 😬😳

I think they must have scraped a MAGA article instead of yours.

Right?? Thinning the herd?

Big Tech says it boosts innovation. AI watchdogs say it guts consumer protections & may be unconstitutional. There are many aspects of AI that require debate and consideration but ethics and equity should be high priorities regardless.
It’s tucked in a budget bill—and could face Senate hurdles.

Any member of the House or Senate who signs this is selling out their States rights to Big Tech.

We are in the infancy of AI, and a 10 year BAN on regulation is like giving a toddler an open bottle of JD and a loaded semi automatic...

good luck enforcing it
wont make it past anything

States' rights this. States' rights that. Until the states want to protect their citizens with reasonable laws and regulations then it's all dictator's rights.

You can ask Goku for help, he'll ensure the meat has reached this temperature by reading it's power level.

But conservatives believe in local control!?!? /s

It would also prevent states from doing something about the fake-news AI slop that DHS is using for propaganda.

I can't think of ANY good use for such a law.

(For just one example of what I'm talking about, Google the name "Andre Tialgo Lucas", then look carefully at the details of the articles that come up. Funny how no one can keep the details straight, isn't it?)

"States' rights" 🙄

If I were a state, I'd simply ignore this garbage and use AI to help craft a message to the House GOP telling it to go fuck itself.

wren1013.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd love to see someone propose an amendment to this which says that, fine, states can't regulate AI, but any victim who wins a lawsuit for harm done by AI negligence will be awarded, minimum, $100 Billion in damages.
