006 — Sacramento, Lemon Pasta, and a New Leaf

What this episode covers

Nearly all 30 of the state's active AI bills cleared the chamber-of-origin deadline on May 29, including bills that would force chatbots to disclose they're chatbots, regulate AI in the Bar exam, and protect student privacy.Because California is the world's fourth-largest economy — and because every major tech company is headquartered there — California's AI laws are about to become the world's AI laws.Plus — pasta al limone, which takes less time than this episode.
