This sort of stuff does little to create safety but does a lot to hype AI. Here’s an idea: ban unsafe software for cases where safety is a requirement OR hold these companies accountable for illegal outcomes (no more “oops, our software hacked a competitor” without getting hit with a lawsuit). Newsome would never do something so sensible as it would hurt his donors’ bottom line.

Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn

That’s an ideal solution. The best solution is what works immediately and within your capabilities.
