  • AI has been determined by the State of California to cause rats in laboratory cancer: SB-1047 - legislation introduced by Scott Wiener, so you know it's bad - aims to make it illegal for AI to do things which are illegal in the first place and which it cannot possibly do in the second place. (Ars Technica)
    The bill lays out a legalistic definition of those safety incidents that in turn focuses on defining a set of "critical harms" that an AI system might enable. That includes harms leading to "mass casualties or at least $500 million of damage," such as "the creation or use of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapon" (hello, Skynet?) or "precise instructions for conducting a cyberattack... on critical infrastructure." The bill also alludes to "other grave harms to public safety and security that are of comparable severity" to those laid out explicitly.
    It's illegal to kill people, even in small numbers.

    It's illegal to destroy property that is not your own, even when it's less than half a billion dollars in damage.

    It's illegal to create chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons.

    It is trivially easy to find information on how to do any of these things, and that information cannot be erased, because people have done all of these things.
