This is insane.
And just like clockwork, the reconciliation bill in the House includes a blanket federal preemption of state AI regulation.
Congress is incapable of meaningful AI regulation to protect the public. It is, however, quite capable of failing to act while also banning states from acting.
Truly gross

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Opinion: Photographers, it's time to boycott Adobe
The company’s AI push shows its naked contempt for the photographers who made it what it is. They won’t stop, so we must stop enabling them.
