On Monday, Newsom vetoed legislation that would have banned companies from making AI chatbots available to people under the age of 18 unless companies could ensure the technology couldn’t engage in sexual conversations or encourage self-harm, the Associated Press reported. The governor attributed his decision to the bill’s “broad restrictions” on AI, which “may unintentionally lead to a total ban on the use of these products by minors.”

    However, he did sign a law that requires platforms to remind users they are interacting with a chatbot and not a human, as well as maintain a protocol to prevent self-harm content.

      Newsom is performatively liberal. He’s much more conservative than he acts. This whole Trump trolling thing is to create an anti-Trump image to help him get the democratic nom next election.

    2. Didn’t someone mention that JGL’s wife was on the board for one of the AI companies?

    3. His Wife worked for an AI Company, Tasha McCauley, formerly served on the board of Meta rival OpenAI.

      Newsom as a frontrunner is 100% the worst thing to happen to the Dems chances at the WH. He’s such an awful candidate it’s almost like he’s a GOP plant.

    5. So conflicted bc we clearly need to have a really strong option against Fascism & Co™️in the next “election”. For me, AOC is it ideaologically but i hope its not her just for the fact that America has CLEARLY demonstrated its not ready to elect a woman. even if her policies are the most progressive of all the options, it would be really dumb to put her up as the Dem/Oppositon cadidate for this reason, imo. The dems are deadass gunna give it to Newsom just for his spicy tweeting, i just hate it here so much.
