Reading the comments, this is both a "nothing burger" and a reason to geoblock California.

It does too much, and too little. The costs are too high, and too low. It's an example of corruption, but also a good first start at regulations. It will drive AI companies out of California, but also attract more companies with a lower bar for edge innovation.

Can anyone link to an actual informed and nuanced discussion of this bill? Because if it exists here, I haven't found it.

I think all of those outcomes are possibilities and I don't think we'll know until we see both how the government decides to attempt to enforce this and how the courts allow it to be enforced.

The language of the law is so vague to me that I could see it being either a sledgehammer or absolutely inconsequential.
