1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI.

On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill.
We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives!

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
