Email providers absolutely block other email providers who abuse their system.

They should be doing the exact opposite and making it incredibly difficult not to open source it. Major platforms open sourcing much of their systems is basically the only good part of the AI space.

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.

That’s basically what comments are most useful for. When you’re doing something that’s not obvious, and want to make sure the “why” doesn’t get lost to time.
