This first bill allows the state of California to regulate and oversee all 3D prints in the name of public safety.

Fun time to introduce/remind people of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect: The phenomenon of a person trusting newspapers for topics which that person is not knowledgeable about, despite recognizing the newspaper as being extremely inaccurate on certain topics which that person is knowledgeable about.

Same thing goes for laws and lawmakers. It's almost as if selecting our "leaders" from a narrow band of society who, for the most part, don't know shit about anything, does not lead to enlightened laws.

Lol I was just talking to my wife about that yesterday and how it's exactly like AI.

If you read something in the newspaper about your job, you're like "these fucking idiots got this all backwards." If you see AI output of an attempt at your job, it's the same thing.

But if you read an article about someone else's job, you think "that makes sense." Same about seeing AI trying to do someone else's job.
