I’m all for this movement provided it’s actually focusing on the rights of individuals rather than empowering corporations to own and operate massive amounts of computing power unchecked. When I first read the article, I frankly assumed this was meant to limit regulation on AI. From what I’ve read in the law that doesn’t seem to explicitly be the case, but given the organizations involved, I fully expect to see more in that vein.

Interesting, has the EFF done a writeup/opinion on this legislation yet? I tend to trust them on breaking things down from the legalese and implications.

Damn right. Keep yer damn laws off my exocortex!

I love how lawmakers jerk each other doing jack shit at the expense of the public.

This is a long text that actually says nothing.

Any idea how “citizen” is defined here? Does this apply, like speech (and campaign donations), to corporations?

I mean, without this law, are the people not allowed to use computing? What exactly is the difference it brings? Does it force government to provide computing to all citizens?

Can someone give an example of a law Montana passed or tried to pass that this law now prohibits a future legislature from passing?

I don't like a legislature compelling a future legislature to not have power, isn't that really a state constitutional thing?

This is going to be used to fuck over people, no way this is a good thing.

its' time for government owned agencies to be more open to integrating intelligent systems. I would prefer if this happens in india too.
