His comment worrying about a “chilling effect” caused by the bill does make me update toward him vetoing, but I think it's not over yet... [image] Brij Singh / @brij : Correct take. This is not the time to give up California's lead in AI The governor said he is “weighing what risks of AI are demonstrable versus hypothetical.” Garrison Lovely / @garrisonlovely : Newsom hints at a veto for SB 1047. He may be floating a trial balloon to see how bad the pushback is. @josephjacks_ : Looks like SB 1047 will be veto'd by Newsome. Much needed good news for open source AI. 🤞🏼 https://www.bloomberg.com/... Max Zeff / @zeffmax : For the first time, California Governor Gavin Newsom shared how he's thinking about SB 1047. “I can't solve for everything. What can we solve for?” That's probably as clear a hint as we're going to get before he makes a decision in the next 2 weeks. [image] Mark Jeffrey / @markjeffrey : Today is Backwards World: - Trump's new @worldlibertyfi is dumb. He should not be doing this. Thumbs down. - Newsom vetoing SB 1047 is smart. Thumbs up. On the whole, Trump is much better than Kamala, and everyone is much better than Newsom. But not today. @martin_casado : This is the right concern on SB 1047. The bill changes tech policy doctrine significantly and in ways that are so poorly defined we're already seeing a chilling effect. I routinely hear founders balk at moving here because of what it signals about California's attitude on AI — [image] Max Zeff / @zeffmax : This is the first time Newsom has commented on SB 1047 See also Mediagazer
