David Sirota / @davidsirota: It's telling how the GOP tried to quietly add the Abundance/Tech Bros' language blocking states from regulating AI rent gouging etc, but the moment it was brought out for a public vote on it, senators were so humiliated they killed it off with a 99-1 vote https://www.cnn.com/...Shirin Ghaffary / @shiringhaffary: This was a drastic reversal, and a sign that there's bipartisan reluctance to let AI companies off the hook too easily, as some perceived Congress did w/ social media. Still, we're not seeing any viable federal AI regulation on the table https://www.bloomberg.com/...@jem_books: I don't know about you all, but I am very happy the Senate voted down the 10 year ban on AI regulations. This is very good news! Let's hope the states will do the right thing and regulate it right out of K-12. I still want to know how AI got into the schools and universities so@tboo211: It worked everybody!! in a 99-1 Senate vote led by @MarshaBlackburn the AI IMMUNITY is removed from the BBB! Never let others talk you down that we cannot make our voices heard!!! Thousands of emails & phone calls caused major pushback!! Too bad NOAA & your"other purposes “!💪 [image]Adam Klasfeld / @klasfeldreports: ‘They fold like a cheap suit’: Rep. @JakeAuch rips GOP capitulation on budget bill In a silver lining, Auchincloss sees the Senate's rejection of a 10-ban on AI regs as an opening to stop Meta's plan for chatbot friends for kids. Full interview here https://www.allrisenews.com/ ...@brickroad7: I'm honestly shocked the AI moratorium failed. And by the GOP senate! And the lead senator who did it is in the state Elon is pouring 50B into. Are there no adults in the room anymore? If even the GOP senate can't get this through. For insanely dumb random conspiracy reasons.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene / @repmtg: 10 year AI moratorium on states is dead in the Senate version of the OBBB. Federalism is preserved and humans are safe for now. Thank you @MarshaBlackburn for killing that insanity with a 99-1 vote!!@americans4ri: The moratorium just got taken out of the budget bill in a LANDSLIDE vote. 99 to 1. Incredible. Thank you to the lawmakers, the children's advocates, the artists and creators, the voters, the labor groups, and everyone who spoke out against the harmful AI law moratorium. [image]Bryan Metzger / @metzgov: imagining a House Republican who threatens to vote against the Big Beautiful Bill unless they put the 10-year AI regulation moratorium back inAustin Ahlman / @austinahlman: disgust with big tech is a supermajority issue, especially in the AI era. this is part of why I have so much disdain for a certain columnist-driven political movement that is largely acting as a trojan horse for an industry that any self-respecting party would be running againstCharlie Bullock / @charliebul58993: AI safety ecosystem maybe needs to reckon harder with how it keeps winning every single major policy fight. @ShakeelHashim 😉@adamconner: The Senate voted 99-1 to remove the state AI pause from the reconciliation bill, a rebuke so complete even the provision's champion in the Senate, Ted Cruz, voted to remove it. A wake up call to Silicon Valley on how unpopular their preferred AI policy is. https://www.bloomberg.com/...Will Oremus / @willoremus: In a stunning reversal, the Senate voted 99-1 this morning to strip from Trump's big bill a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations. The landslide came after Sen. @MarshaBlackburn abandoned a deal with @tedcruz to support a pared-back, 5-year pause. [image]Rat King / @mikeisaac: think tech might've gotten a bit over its skis on this one https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]Ed Newton-Rex / @ednewtonrex: This is incredible news - the US Senate rejected a pause on state-level AI regulation by 99-1. Big tech, and its advocates drafting various countries' AI policy, can be beaten. UK politicians should take note. https://www.theverge.com/... [image]Anthony Adragna / @anthonyadragna: .@MarshaBlackburn on the floor overnight on AI moratorium “I regret that we weren't able to come to a compromise.” But “this body has proven that they cannot legislate on emerging technology.” https://subscriber.politicopro.com/ ...Gary Marcus / @garymarcus: Breaking: for once (and hopefully this endures) an incredible victory for humanity over the selfish and unreasonable lobbying of big tech.Shalin Jyotishi / @shalinjyotishi: Lot to be concerned about in the #OneBigBeautifulBill, but glad the Senate voted 99-1 to ax the 10-year ban on state-level AI policy and governance: https://www.bloomberg.com/... It was a bad idea as An-Me Chung and I wrote for @NewAmerica: https://www.newamerica.org/...@encodeaction: The AI Moratorium has been stripped out of the Big Beautiful Bill in an overwhelming 99-1 vote. We thank Senator @MarshaBlackburn, kids online safety advocates, civil society organizations, and hundreds of grassroots volunteers that came together to stop this. [image]Elizabeth Warren / @senwarren: Big Tech companies snuck a line into the Republican bill that'd stop local and state governments from having ANY rules about AI for TEN YEARS. But we fought back — and won! This fight is not over, but we are not powerless.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene / @repmtg: I told the White House I couldn't support the One Big Beautiful Bill with the AI moratorium inside. Banning states from regulating AI for 10 years is a gift to Big Tech and a disaster for American workers and states' rights. Thanks to Senator @MarshaBlackburn, we got it OUT. [video]Chad Pergram / @chadpergram: Senate votes 99-1 to strike state/local AI moratorium from the Big, Beautiful Bill. One nay vote was TillisDiego Areas Munhoz / @dareasmunhoz: NEWS: The Senate has removed AI moratorium from the reconciliation bill in a whopping 99-1 vote. Deals a massive blow to the effort to make this happen in the GOP package, Luckey — who famously created the Oculus VR headset and whose net worth is pegged by Forbes at $3.6 billion — is partnering on the bank startup with tech investor Joe Lonsdale, sources close, To be named Erebor, the bank would be backed by high-profile tech investors including Joe Lonsdale, the founder of venture capital firm 8VC and a co-founder of Peter Thiel’s defence group .
