If California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) does not veto the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act by September 30, 2024, it will become law. The bill would make open-source artificial intelligence (AI) developers responsible for other people’s use and modification of their technology, likely moving the entire AI industry towards the censorship-heavy closed-source models of California tech giant Google.

Pelosi, who remains a U.S. congresswoman, joined free speech advocates in opposing the Frontier AI Act (also called Senate Bill 1047). She warned, “While [I] want California to lead in AI in a way that protects consumers, data, intellectual property and more, SB 1047 is more harmful than helpful in that pursuit.”

Currently, companies like OpenAI, X (formerly Twitter) and Meta offer open-source AI programs, which permit any person to observe their code, see their biases and even modify them to create something better. Tech giant Google operates a closed-source AI called Gemini. […]

Back in July, PolitiFact gave Trump one half-true, two mostly false, five false, and two pants on fire ratings. That’s zero on the true side, one in the middle, and nine on the false side. Harris, meanwhile, received two true, three mostly true, one half-true, and one false rating. That’s a total of five statements on the right, one in the middle, and one on the wrong side of the truth-o-meter.

The typical defense to such lopsided results is to simply say that Trump gets more false ratings because he spreads more falsehoods, but there were at least three significant statements from Harris that deserved to be on the false side in addition to her claim that unemployment was at its highest point since the Great Depression when she and Biden took office.

During the part of the discussion on whether Harris would use executive action to create a commission to study reparations, she declared, “We just need to speak truth about history in spite of the fact some people are trying to erase history and trying to teach our children otherwise.” […]

Free Press, fueled with at least $2 million by Soros between 2017 and 2021, announced that it was launching a new Orwellian scheme called “‘Democracy Is … .’” This so-called “new initiative” will deputize journalists through indoctrination by the Soros machine and engage the public on how to censor speech by supposedly “flagging disinformation” on social media platforms. In addition, Free Press pledged that the initiative would “provide other needed resources to influence media and technology platforms to better serve our communities and strengthen our democracy,” the press release boasted. [Emphasis added.]

The new “Democracy Is …” website sensationalized how “In an era of misinformation and manipulation, the role of media and tech matter more than ever,” offering chilling insights into where the Soros empire is zeroing its focus ahead of the November elections.

The coalition is a hodgepodge of leftist and Soros-backed groups. These groups include the “digital brownshirts” at the Center for Countering Digital Hate, whose entire modus operandi is pressuring Big Tech to censor views that don’t comport with leftist narratives on climate change, COVID-19 and other things.

Watch CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell’s absolutely bonkers open to the Springfield item filed by correspondent Nikole Killion:

CBS's Norah O'Donnell watched Lester Holt tie the 2nd attempted assassination of @realDonaldTrump to Springfield rhetoric last night and said, "hold my box wine" pic.twitter.com/MYfIImhHI3

NBC’s Lester Holt did the same exact thing yesterday- the forced and accusatory tying in of Springfield with the most recent assassination attempt. For all the media’s denunciations of “inflammatory rhetoric”, they sure are good at cooking up some incitement of their own.

Killion’s report is a rehash of the common themes echoed in Springfield coverage, but with a reduced emphasis on actual cats and dogs. There was time to replay some JD Vance video from Sunday, and there was time to ask a restaurant manager about prank calls asking whether they serve cats. On plates. […]
