    The provision, introduced by Representative Brett Guthrie of Kentucky, states that “no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”

    More proof that “State’s rights” has always been code for oppressing minorities.

      Rep Guthrie, who apparently voted to impeach Pres Biden, and the secretary of homeland security, as well as being anti-abortion and in 2011 voted for “a controversial provision that allows the government and the military to indefinitely detain American citizens and others without trial.”

      Seems to have just the right amount of education to be writing legislation around technology. /s

      Turns out, states’ rights, free speech, right to bear arms, small government, constitutional originalism, deregulation, border security, religious liberty, education reform, law and order, personal freedom… the whole Republican platform has all along been code for oppressing minorities.

        Not just minorities, they’re just first in line. White people shouldn’t feel so comfortable, once they feel like they’re getting the minorities under control, they’ll start coming for recalcitrant Caucasians, too.

      It was “State’s rights” to own slaves but then “Federal Government Oversight” to force abolition states to return escaped slaves.

      In other words:

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
