Forecasters seem to lean toward the second hypothesis; at least I don’t see any big safety proponents on here (except Emmett, who I doubt is really being considered). Fei-Fei Li is an AI ethics person, but the kind who spends time sniping at alignment people even though they’re her natural allies and desperately want to help her. These people always do well for themselves, and I’ve bet her up. Most of the others are Silicon Valley businesspeople of one sort or another.
Newsom is good at politics, so he’s covering his tracks. To counterbalance his SB 1047 veto and appear strong on AI, he signed several less important anti-AI bills, including a ban on deepfakes which was immediately struck down as unconstitutional.

[Opponents of SB 1047] had a big assist from “godmother of AI” and Stanford professor Fei-Fei Li, who published an op-ed in Fortune falsely claiming that SB 1047’s “kill switch” would effectively destroy the open-source AI community. Li’s op-ed was prominently cited in the congressional letter and Pelosi’s statement, where the former Speaker said that Li is “viewed as California’s top AI academic and researcher and one of the top AI thinkers globally.”
