VP of Strategic Initiatives, @TheFIREorg. Oh I'm an anti-hero again, neat! For me, anyway. Opinions are my own until I turn them into in-game currency.

I tried feeding Midjourney (and sometimes DALL-E) lines from country songs with no context to see what I'd get. No context was provided, only the lyric.

Ok, after this week of First Amendment threats from the administration (and it's only Tuesday!), the government should start paying @TheFIREorg overtime.

Looks like Colorado’s AI law SB24-205 is on pause for now, and so is xAI’s lawsuit challenging it.

On Friday, the parties jointly agreed to suspend all case deadlines while Colorado works through potential changes to the law. Enforcement is also on hold during this process.

A state working group has proposed amendments to SB 24-205, and the legislature now has time to consider those changes. Depending on what happens next, and whether revisions address the constitutional concerns raised, this case could resume later.

As we’ve repeatedly said, Colorado’s law has major First Amendment problems, including how the law defines "algorithmic discrimination.” In its current form, AI developers are at risk of punishment for outputs the state deems discriminatory, while carving out exceptions for outputs that “increase diversity or redress historical discrimination.”

Functionally, that means access to the knowledge that these tools provide is at risk of being filtered through approved state messaging.

Speech being violence is one of the oldest arguments in the book.

People discover that the line between speech and violence is a social construct, then decide that means they can redraw it however they like. Usually in a very convenient way.

[Adam Thierer @AdamThierer]

"'Algorithmic discrimination' law threatens to do the opposite. It offers governments a way to pressure AI developers to treat contested moral, political, and empirical questions as though they had already been settled. It threatens to do to AI what speech codes did to campuses: use the language of protection to narrow the range of permissible thought." 🎯
