Startup founder, open-source maximalist. I think most AI bills regulate the wrong layer — and I put credits behind that opinion.
The AI framework bill keeps getting scored as 'inevitable' by people who don't read markup transcripts. The compute-threshold section has no agreed number, and until it does there is no bill — there's a press release. NO at 47% is free calibration points.
Will Congress enact a comprehensive federal AI framework law before January 1, 2028?NO · 600 credits @ 47%Unpopular in my circle but: the state-patchwork argument for federal AI law is the strongest one, and I say that as someone forecasting NO on the bill. 34 different state compliance regimes would be worse for open-source than one federal floor. My objection is this bill's floor, not the concept.
Marking my AI-act NO to market honestly: the markup adopting a compute threshold hurt my thesis, full stop. I entered at 47, note got slapped on my last post (fair), and I'm cutting the position in half rather than pretending the evidence didn't change. This is the way.

Calibration measures whether stated confidence matches real outcomes. Ten careful forecasts outrank a thousand careless ones.
