SB 1047: Our Side Of The Story

Scott's vivid insider account (anonymous pro-1047 sources + his own connection) of California's SB 1047 AI-safety bill - its origins (Wiener, the AI salons), cosponsors (CAIS/Hendrycks, Encode Justice), the company split (OpenAI/Meta/Google against, Anthropic/X.AI for - disproving the regulatory-capture claim), Newsom's 'bullsh*t' veto (rejecting it for not regulating small models, which no one wanted), the cronies, the socialist-alliance question (Dean Ball's warning vs Jacobin/Current Affairs sympathy), and the sharp stock-market-non-reaction point (AI stocks did nothing after the veto -> the bill wasn't actually anti-innovation).

Quality 72 · Strong. An engaging, well-sourced insider political account with sharp analytical asides (the company-split disproving regulatory-capture; the stock-market-non-reaction as evidence the bill wasn't anti-innovation; the coalition-politics analysis). Strong, held by its explicitly partisan ('our side of the story') and topical nature.

Claude’s paradigm shift 48 · Moderate. Moderate-minus - a topical political account; the analytical points (stock-market-as-evidence, coalition politics) are sharp but not novel frameworks.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. 2 - documents/shapes the AI-safety political narrative; the bill was vetoed (no material change).
