But in a separate Fortune editorial from earlier this month, Stanford computer science professor and AI expert Fei-Fei Liargued that the "well-meaning" legislation will "have significant unintended consequences, not just for California but for the entire country."

The bill's imposition of liability for the original developer of any modified model will "force developers to pull back and act defensively," Li argued. This will limit the open-source sharing of AI weights and models, which will have a significant impact on academic research, she wrote.

Holy shit this is a fucking terrible idea.

I read that as "incentivizing keeping AI in labs and out of the hands of people who shouldn't be using it".

That said, you'd think they would learn by now from Piracy: once it's out there, it's out there. Can't put it back in the jar.

Not open-sourcing it is a terrible idea, it just creates more black boxes and gives corporations a further upper hand.

Yeah what do I care if Jimmy down the street enjoys using his Ollama chatbot? I'm too busy worrying about Terminator panning out
