Haha never mind... just looked into your record; you wanted to delay implementation (or kill) a bill that would have regulated AI in CO (and a fairly mild proposal at that).
I should have figured the 'stakeholders' you reference are local tech interests.

Curious: will you oppose the provision in the proposed NDAA that forbids states to regulate AI for ten years?
This is the proposal that got removed from the BBB, back from the dead.
As your constituent, I urge you to preserve Colorado's rights to set local laws.

I've seen this idea explode on Bluesky; a "Leftist/Marxist" critique which ultimately favors AI tech oligarchs...
!?!!?!!
Until property rights are fully abolished in favor of UBI/Communism, I'd rather not launch creatives (like Laika) into that space.
Copyright is our only recourse.

Haha I didn't look at Blue sky for a few days, so I'm not sure what comments were added after mine. It seemed the tenor of thought was, Copyright is a capitalist tool that favors big stakeholders (Disney, etc) so we don't like it. Creatives need a different tool to oppose exploitation of their labor

It's usually people receiving a university salary who would do away with the property rights of writers, artists, filmmakers etc.
Wouldn't society also benefit from free universities, with unpaid professors?
Let's dispense with your salary, seize your savings, and hope for UBI.

And until that ideal is realized (or UBI, as the tech bros promise), let's use whatever legal tool is at hand to slow AI.
If property is theft, and restrictive of progress, let's start by dispensing the property rights of the rich; rather than artists and writers.

Pic of Josh Hawley with a headline about the WH trying to block the bill (paywall hides details) but...
THIS BILL WAS PROPOSED BY JOSH HAWLEY!
Crossing the aisle once again.
Hawley's also on the side of creatives vs tech oligarchs with AI regulation; unlike Michael Bennet, my own Senator.

Okay, I have no idea what your ideal solution is, if it's not ending property rights of creatives to their own works.
Perhaps I've misunderstood.
What exactly ARE your positions regarding AI and the copyrighted training data?

It's always tech workers and lawyers, with their high incomes, who think the property rights of (underpaid) writers and artists are the economy's speed-bump.
Let's do away with your property rights first, and your right to be compensated for your labor.
I've heard UBI is just around the corner.

Yeah, I figured they'd just go full-speed ahead with an unconstitutional EO until SCOTUS takes it up; now that they have their 'get out of jail free' card to ignore lower courts' injunctions. Does that sound right? I didn't read it yet.

What I don't get is how this gets around the SCOTUS decision in O'Connor v. Donaldson (1975).
"A finding of "mental illness" alone cannot justify a State's locking a person up against his will and keeping him indefinitely in simple custodial confinement. "

Many people whose work was stolen don't have safety nets like unemployment, shorter hours, etc. Lots of freelance voice actors, film extras, journalists, translators, designers, illustrators, musicians.
All vulnerable to AI trained on their work or likeness.
Copyright is the only tool at hand.

This bill is a lot stronger (perhaps to an impractical degree).
The last one would have left AI companies vulnerable to lawsuits for harm. They're protected currently in the same way FB can't be sued for people posting things.
This bill says using copyrighted or personal info is a no-no.
