Is this a joke? This bill does not particularly sound like it's written by a person who even knows x-risks are a thing; it seems to be trying to fight parasocial attachments to LLMs.

And even if it was otherwise, it'd be nearly useless since it's a law of one particular state. From the very post you linked: "If an ASI ban is to accomplish anything at all, it has to be effective everywhere. [...] Driving an AI company out of just your own city will not protect your family from death. It won't even protect your city from job losses, earlier in the timeline."
