Kaliforniens KI-Sicherheitsgesetz ist ein Moment, in dem die Branche die Masken abnehmen muss | Die führenden KI-Industriellen sagen, sie wollen Regulierung – bis jemand versucht, sie zu regulieren.

From the article: “If we listen to the top companies, human-level AI could arrive within five years, and [full-blown extinction](https://youtu.be/ebjkD1Om4uw?si=WmG9zM-4nzfXqyoK&t=1340) is on the table. The leaders of these companies have talked about the need for regulation and repeatedly stated that advanced AI systems [could lead to](https://www.safe.ai/work/statement-on-ai-risk), as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman memorably put it, “lights out for all of us.”

But now they and their industry groups are saying it’s too soon to regulate. Or they want regulation, of course, but just not *this* regulation.

None of the major AI companies support California bill SB 1047. With such an array of powerful forces stacked against it, it’s worth looking at what exactly SB 1047 does and does not do. And when you do that, you find not only that the reality is very different from the rhetoric, but that some tech bigwigs are blatantly misleading the public about the nature of this legislation.

The most coordinated and intense opposition has been from Andreessen Horowitz, known as a16z. The world’s largest venture capital firm has shown itself willing to say *anything* to kill SB 1047. In open letters and the pages of the *Financial Times* and *Fortune*, a16z founders and partners in their portfolio have brazenly lied about what the bill does.

Opponents assert that there is a “massive public outcry” against SB 1047 and highlight imagined and unsubstantiated harms that will befall sympathetic victims like academics and open-source developers. However, the bill aims squarely at the largest AI developers in the world and has statewide [popular support](https://theaipi.org/april-voters-prefer-ai-regulation-over-self-regulation-2-2/), with even stronger support from tech workers.”

maybe they were really hoping for a woman governor to regulate them harder daddy

Absolutely disgusting companies, just adding more issues to society such as any other big coorporation overlords. More slavers sadly.
