Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: My article in The Nation - California's AI Safety Bill Is a Mask-Off Moment for the Industry, published by Garrison on August 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
I wrote an article on California AI safety bill SB 1047 for The Nation and the reaction from the AI industry, investors, and the broader tech community. The story was informed by conversations with over a dozen relevant sources and comes shortly before the bill faces a floor vote in the California Assembly.
I think it's useful to understand how industry responds to attempts to regulate AI, and centered my analysis on that topic.
If you're interested in helping share the article, I made a Tweet thread.
