1/ 🎉🧵 BIG WIN: Gov. Newsom (@governor.ca.gov) yesterday signed #AB325 into law! The era of corporate collusion hiding behind computer code is over. Californians deserve fair prices, not corporate price manipulation, and that’s exactly what this bill delivers.

NEW RESEARCH ALERT 🚨
Tech giants are making massive investments in generative AI, integrating it into their existing products and selling access to the foundational models to others.
But all that money and power isn’t making its way down to the people who make AI actually work: data workers.

Let's not mince words:
Mahmoud Khalil was abducted and disappeared, without consideration of rule of law, by an authoritarian regime intent on crushing dissent and criticism.
Free Mahmoud Khalil.

Free Mahmoud Khalil.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
