   Over the last year, California technology grew so pervasive and important   
   that its impact finally became a central preoccupation of California   
   government.   
      
   Some of that impact was positive, like a surge of unexpected tax revenue   
   that likely came from one or more profit-gushing, capital-intensive Golden   
   State tech companies like AI chipmaker Nvidia.   
      
   But lawmakers were more concerned with harms than benefits.   
      
   Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law bills banning deepfake campaign ads,   
   deepfake content on big online platforms, and disclosure of artificial   
   intelligence content in advertising.   
      
   The governor also signed a bill requiring California schools to limit or   
   ban student use cellphones, codifying statewide a practice that has become   
   increasingly common at the district level as educators look to refocus   
   students. Schools in Los Angeles and San Diego took a more critical look   
   at their use of artificial intelligence after unhappy surprises involving   
   chatbots and grading software.   
      
   The state bureaucracy moved to update enforcement of existing laws to   
   account for AI. The California Civil Rights Department moved to restrict   
   how employers use the technology to screen job applicants while the   
   Government Operations Agency set rules for how state departments   
   themselves use it.   
      
   There were limits to the regulatory impulse: The governor vetoed a bill to   
   make companies test large AI models for their potential to help with mass   
   attacks, reasoning that the bigger threat was overregulating an innovative   
   industry. State agencies, meanwhile, struggled to enforce a law designed   
   to help app workers.   
      
   2025 outlook   
   In 2025, California lawmakers must decide whether to accelerate their   
   regulation of technology under Donald Trump’s second presidential term;   
   Trump has promised to rescind modest AI guardrails installed by the Biden   
   administration and could use the technology to assist with mass   
   deportations. This may include another crack at major AI curbs, given that   
   the governor promised to take another swing at the problem following his   
   veto of the testing bill.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
