For those keeping track, Susan Collins of Maine also voted against the release of the files. The only [2] Republicans who voted for their release were men.

Now it would be a righteous riot if the special session, which the tech industry pushed for, ended up resulting in a bill that is much stronger for consumers. The new Rodriguez proposal--the Sunshine bill--doesn't seem to have the loopholes and safe harbors of the CAIA.

Also, the disclosure requirements in the CAIA have carveouts that will allow companies to withhold anything they deem related to their "trade secrets" or "intellectual property" so it still kind of a gamble that consumers will get useful info, IMHO

It is even suggested on information and belief that “the model underlying [Character Technologies’ LLM] was invented and initially built at Google.”

In short, what this mom is saying is: Google knew, Google knows.
