    • “Hmm, this seems like a good idea”.
    • Supported by a bunch of AI business groups.
    • “…this seems like less of a good idea.”

    EDIT: So after reading the bill, I can see the following problem:

    It limits any level of government from restricting the private use of AI tech unless it meets a relatively high bar of legality and specificity. Remember that private use refers to both personal and business use. This means that e.g. a township could NOT decide to ban datacenters due to environmental concerns, water use, etc. They would need to prove a specific datacenter was ‘creating common law nuisances’ AND that they had exhausted other legal options before they could create any legal restrictions on that specific datacenter (let alone a blanket restriction). The law technically allows for other ‘compelling government interests’, but fails to list them… meaning it could be challenged in court and would be completely open to a judge’s decision. Basically this creates a legal environment where datacenters have a right to operate and any attempt to regulate them would be fraught with the risk of expensive court cases.

    Pro-business legislation dressed up as personal rights. Never change, Montana.

    I celebrate Kirk’s murder precisely because I have empathy. I am fully aware of the harm Kirk and his ilk have caused. How many women were sexually assaulted because their rapists were motivated by Kirk? How many minorities were discriminated against or had hate crimes perpetrated against them because of Charlie ‘I Think Empathy Isn’t Real’ Kirk? It is impossible to have empathy for people and not hate Kirk’s guts.
