Nonetheless, the current bill still jeopardizes internet users' speech, privacy, and security. While the open source exemption, if passed, would improve the law, the remaining amendments proposed by AB 1856 would require all web browsers and websites to request and collect users' ages. This is an expansion of last year's AB 1043's age-bracketing system that compounds its constitutional harms to users' speech, privacy, and security.

I sat down on the couch in my sweatpants, and just basically melted into [it] the whole weekend, probably almost 48 hours straight. About three weeks ago, an X post praising NanoClaw from famed AI researcher Andrej Karpathy went viral.

Today, I met with Colorado Senator Matt Ball, co-author of Colorado OS Age Attestation Bill SB26-051. Sen. Ball suggested excluding open source software from the bill.

That might be influenced by my study subject very well, but it might as well be influenced by every report and story I read on digital abuse and hate speech in the last twenty to thirty years.

Every C-suite executive I meet asks the same question: Why is our AI investment stuck in pilot purgatory? After surveying over 200 AI practitioners for our latest research, I have a sobering answer: Only 22% of organizations have moved beyond experimentation to strategic AI deployment. The rest are trapped in what I call the "messy middle"-burning resources on scattered pilots that never reach production scale.

We live in an astonishing technology-based world, fueled by and dependent on software. That software provides our networks, our security, our financial transactions, our supply chain management, and, of course, the generative AI systems that are top of mind for just about everyone. But where does that digital infrastructure come from? Nearly all of it is based on free and open source software, what the industry calls FOSS.
