This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

(1/5) Fun fact: Several classic results in the stat. mech. of learning can be derived in a couple lines of simple algebra!

In this paper with Haim Sompolinsky, we simplify and unify derivations for high-dimensional convex learning problems using a bipartite cavity method.
