Tech advocates are calling for an in-person San Francisco gathering next week centered on reversing recent state-level AI rules they describe as concentrating power and wealth while stifling freedom of intelligence.
Anyone in SF next week who wants to gather to discuss freedom of intelligence and the concerning AI regulations in the last couple weeks?
We are assembling a group of people who want to take action to reverse this.
It's un-American, it's unfree, it's dangerous. Most Americans would agree. Whether you like AI (like me) or not, the last thing we want is government giving immense power and wealth to a few.
Posts reference unspecified regulations from the past couple weeks at the state level without naming any particular bill, agency, or enforcement action.
Robert Scoble floated decentralized computing as a response to regulatory efforts, though no further details on the approach appear in the sampled discussion.
Many users supported the San Francisco meetup to oppose recent AI regulations due to optimism that open-source local AI and decentralization will prevail, while some dismissed the effort as misguided or harmful to entrepreneurs.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
Decentralized computing is the answer to much government stupidity.

@jessalanfields Would love to have you if you can make it
@sqs Let’s see how American you are.
Should China and India be allowed access to our tech unfettered?
@sqs lots of folks in town for https://www.ai.engineer/worldsfair/2026
@sqs May not be in SF but this has been a huge part of my career (local action + organized efforts on policy). I can add a lot of value to this… maybe can be in SF. Let me know
@sqs yeah!
@HankYeomans No updates from them, but see https://www.theinformation.com/articles/trump-administration-asks-openai-stagger-release-new-model-security-concerns.
@Scobleizer A few labs plus one state is a single point of failure for intelligence.
@sqs Might be useful to read up on the legal and policy environment, e.g.
@sqs I agree with you, and wish I was there.
Actually, I wish we'd all move to Texas and hang.
@sqs Was there an update to the Anthropic mess? Is this related to Fable being force removed?
@sqs Absolutely!
@sqs its time
@sqs Would love to join Quinn!
@sqs yes, please do
@sqs add me!
@sqs @alistairmcleay
@sqs Thank you for doing this. This might be Dario's biggest marketing gaffe, because it's holding many back. And we all want access to the same models worldwide, because gated to a passport is ridiculous
@sqs yes please
@sqs Not in sf this week but very much want to be part of that conversation
