OpenAI Expresses Concerns Over California Safety Bill

Strategy Officer, Jason Kwon, is concerned that California's AI safety bill, SB 1047, could hinder progress and push companies out of the state.

California State Senator Scott Wiener, the bill's sponsor, defended the legislation, stating it merely requires AI labs to conduct safety testing, something they’ve already committed to.

It wouldn’t be the first time California made the genius decision to kick out more of their cash-cow businesses.

Google's AI Tool Can Help Make Interesting Creations

Google's new "Reimagine" tool on the Pixel 9 allows users to add or modify images with AI-generated content.

The tool is intended for creative use, but deranged journalists will likely use it to generate disturbing images, like scenes of violence or disaster.
