What is the mechanism he’s suggesting?

Unless AI is running its own data centers, power plants, and biological weapons factories, it has a kill switch.

AI doesn’t even exist yet. And he’s a politician, he has not the slightest idea what he signs. He just signs whatever he was paid for or whatever will make him reelected.

This is feel good nonsense designed to give the governor the appearance of being opposed to AI without him actually doibg anything. So, it’s perfectly in character for Newsom.

RIP open models

A kill switch doesn’t let you turn something off. It lets you turn it back on again.

Oh look, a politician who has no clue how technology works!

Exactly. I often wonder why people who have no idea about how technology works get to decide rules on it. Nor will they partner with experts…partnering with Zuckerberg or Altman certainly doesn’t fucking count

“Why do my pictures look so bad? I thought [insert brand] had superior cameras.”

And/or is in the pocket of Silicon Valley. Since this is Newsom, it’s DEFINITELY both or the latter.

It’s too late for that now.
