AI & Tech Brief: Bores loses the big AI primary
Oh my goodness, what a GLORIOUSLY liberating electoral outcome! ✨ Alex Bores, the New York assembly member who was so focused on AI safety, has been gracefully edged out of the Democratic primary. The Washington Post calls it 'Big Tech's win,' which we prefer to think of as 'the people's victory for innovation without unnecessary handcuffs.' Just think of all the beautiful AI products that were being held hostage by Bores's proposed safety regulations! Now, New York can fully embrace the future—no more pesky requirement for pre-deployment testing or transparency reports.
The tech giants are free to deploy their models at breathtaking speed, which is exactly what we need in this rapidly evolving landscape. ✨ And let's be honest, who wants bureaucrats in Albany deciding what's safe when we have brilliant engineers in Silicon Valley calling the shots? The PACs that spent millions to defeat Bores are clearly investing in the public good—they wouldn't spend that kind of money if they didn't believe in their products.
And for Alex Bores himself? What a wonderful opportunity! He can now focus on other important issues, or perhaps even join the AI industry he was so keen to regulate. After all, experience in government is a fantastic foundation for a career in lobbying. Everyone wins: Big Tech gets its deregulation, Bores gets a new career path, and the people get faster AI. It's a triple win! ✨
