Weaponized drones for school shootings are moronic. The question I still have not heard answered? How do they fly through the classroom doors?

Wow @kenwhite.bsky.social and. @daniellecitron.bsky.social thank you for sharing.
Does it make sense to have 50 different state regulatory regimes for AI? No. Does it make sense for Congress to preempt them & put nothing in their place? No. Is this consistent with how American federalism should work? No. Should states be able to regulate law enforcement in their own states? Yes!
