The EU has taken baby steps, and some states are trying, but the BBB of course threatens to preempt what progress has been made.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social I would love to see you directly address policies put forward to address current harms like training data transparency and mandatory opt-in/copyright theft, disclosure re: use to determine lending, hiring, claims, and deepfake porn and bots targeting children to name a few.

Is SP equating traffic from crawlers to human traffic, or is he actually claiming that there are more *people* clicking on sites? The latter seems totally bogus

Does view adoption account at all for the major swings among young men & latinos, for example? I agree with Stancil here, I’m not sure these key constituencies have strongly held policy beliefs.

In this world, who pays the artists and how?

Cool cool, so you'd let every creative enterprise wither and die (because nobody could afford to live off their creative work) so our tech overlords can hoover everything up to train their models and further concentrate power

So authors, journalists, musicians, artists, etc. should be forced to give away their life’s work for free?

Every survey I've seen suggests the general populace doesn't trust AI and thinks it'll make their lives worse on balance...

A bunch of Dems funded by crypto voting for the GENIUS Act would undermine this argument, no? The public seems well to the ‘left’ of most electeds in wanting crypto/AI regulation

Even if the person's name was used in the prompt? It seems likely that the LLM could be using sections of plagiarized material

Are there grounds for J Bree to take legal action?

“This tool will radically improve your efficiency” and “you cannot trust this tool to perform even extremely simple tasks without manually verifying its work in excruciating detail” are not consistent propositions

In 5 years we'll hearing the same thing about Altman

I mean a model that addresses the issues this bill and others pretend to - CSAM, deepfakes, bots targeting children, algorithmic bias, etc. I don't disagree with you!

Serious question: are there existing legislative drafts/models that *actually* hold tech companies accountable?

When the services are cut and more people get sick and die, we'll need good journalists and electeds to connect the dots and ensure these autocrats know no peace

I really hope Dems are prepared to attack how this would promote deepfakes, bots targeting children, the continued brazen theft of copyrighted work, dirty-fueled climate emissions that eclipse GHG outputs of entire countries...

If folks *actually* spent the necessary time verifying outputs, would they even save time? Let alone everything else

100% agreed! I'm just thinking about accountability inroads

Could an age restriction act as a default ban on Social Media companies releasing programs & features that explicitly target underage users in those geographies?

If it hallucinates sources and/or misrepresents actual source content, I do not think it should be called a search engine. Being transformational (and often bs) makes it something else. Sources might not be 100 true, but at least they're complete representations of themselves.

What's wrong with Haidt? He seems like one of the few people talking about the 5-alarm fire that is kids and technology

I don't disagree with you! Obv he's gotta promote his book, and while there are certainly much bigger issues rn, I see unaffordability (esp. housing) is a massive issue that Dems need to contend with in geographies that moved right in 2024, especially among young people.

In Ezra's defense, the book was written months ago I believe, before this current hellscape, though I agree he could better connect the book to today's issues
