@seanfobbe I knew it would take a situation like this for the techbros to actually consider pushing legislation.
The whole "nuuuu, legislation will stifle innovation of a vulnerable new industry uwu" to getting lawmakers involved once other foreign competitors start stealing the datasets they stole in the first place is peak capitalist greed and systematic corruption.
What would be hilarious is if the legislators say "our hands are tied due to the 10 year ban on AI regulation provision in the big "beautiful" bill, leaving these techbros high and dry to fix this on their own, but I don't think they realize the shitstorm that would ensue if they ask the dementia-ridded orange for favors to skirt around said law in this instance.
