VPN set to California?
Oooooooh! As long as California doesn't do those stupid ID verification laws, that might be the place to set your VPN from now on.

Ok, this is a REALLY smart law!
Weird how California keeps being the most progressive state in the US.
It's like being the best smelling turd in a toilet, but at least it's something.
As a Califirnian, I will do my job from here on out.
Any word on the 3 laws of robotics?
"AI" is already being used for genocide in palestine and probably elsewhere. Not to mention other "applications".
So no luck on the laws of robotics.

Has anyone been able to find the text of the law, the article didn't mention the penalties, I want to know if this actually means anything.
Edit: I found a website that says the penalty follows 5000*sum(n+k) where n is number of days since first infraction, this has a closed form of n^2+n= (7500^-1)y where y is the total compounded fee. This makes it cost 1mil in 11 days and 1bil in a year.
Yeah, this is an important point. If the penalty is too small, AI companies will just consider it a cost of doing business. Flat-rate fines only being penalties for the poor, and all that.

Fun Fact:
Did you know, that cops are required to tell you if they're a cop? It's in the constitution!
This sounds about as useful as the California law that tells ICE they aren’t allowed to cover their face, or the California law that tells anyone selling anything ever that they have to tell you it will give you cancer. Performative laws are what we’re best at here in California.
