2024-08-26California's SB 1047 is due for a vote this week, so I invited @snewmanpv, @_NathanCalvin of @cais, and @deanwball of @mercatus to discuss
The situation is super nuanced, but the bottom line for me is this: I were the Governor, I would sign the bill
As @TheZvi puts it – and there's been no better chronicler of this legislative process – it is now primarily a transparency bill
I think it's a prudent step to require frontier labs to publish safety plans and protocols
as Anthropic said, "particularly after recent amendments, SB 1047 likely presents a feasible compliance burden for companies like ours, in light of the importance of averting catastrophic misuse"
Full video is attached and also on the feed, and the next tweet will have my full introductory summary & argument for hypothetical signing.
I look forward to a healthy discussion!
