In retrospect, perhaps trusting all of the government's systems and data to Elon Musk and his band of 20-year-old cybercriminals was not the smartest move.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete

The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

Many years ago I talked with a relatively senior Italian WW2 officer who flipped monarchist. Asked him why, as he then and still was, more than a wee bit Fash.

His answer:

"I liked the Germans but they started arresting my men. They were stupid. Paranoid. I asked then what stopped them taking me."
