Two California governors have visited China and signed environmental accords as if they were the heads of state instead of the heads of a state. Now the madness continues with the EU lobbying California over AI.
California, with its status as a tech-forward state and huge economy, has a chance to lead the way. So much so, in fact, that the European Union is trying to coordinate with the state on AI laws. The EU opened an office in San Francisco in 2022 and dispatched a tech envoy, Gerard de Graaf, to better communicate about laws and regulations around AI.
We are living through what de Graaf calls “the year of AI.” De Graaf and deputy head of the EU office in San Francisco Joanna Smolinska told CalMatters that if California lawmakers pass AI regulation in the coming months, the state can emerge as a standard bearer for the regulation of AI in the United States.
Which is exactly why foreign governments should not be involved.
States do not get to run their own foreign policy. They don’t get to sign accords with foreign nations. And yet California Democrats keep doing this sort of thing.
Last month, de Graaf traveled to Sacramento to speak with several state lawmakers key to AI regulation:
Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a San Ramon Democrat, is author of a bill that requires businesses and state agencies report results of AI model tests in an effort to prohibit automated discrimination
Democratic State Sen. Scott Wiener from San Francisco is author of a bill to regulate generative AI
Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, an East Bay Democrat, is author of a bill that would require online platforms put watermarks on images and videos generated by AI sometimes referred to as deepfakes ahead of elections this fallAnd Sen. Tom Umberg, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who was referred to by Politico as the “California’s chief gatekeeper for AI rules.”
The meeting to discuss the bills was at least the sixth trip de Graaf or other EU officials made to Sacramento in two months. EU officials who helped write the AI Act and EU Commission Vice President Josep Fontelles also made trips to Sacramento and Silicon Valley in recent weeks.
So there is now good reason to think that California legislators are writing bills based on input from officials of a foreign governmental body which is actively visiting the state because they correctly see the corrupt members of the one-party state as the weak link in the U.S. economy.
Coordination between California and EU officials attempts to combine regulatory initiatives in two uniquely influential markets.
The definition of AI used by the California Senate Judiciary committee is informed by a number of voices including federal agencies, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the EU.
Again bizarre and wildly inappropriate. Federal agencies are part of the United States. The EU is not. Any diplomatic work conducted by the EU should go through the national government, not state governments. It’s one thing for states to engage in trade relations, but this is once again a case of state officials coordinating with foreign governments to influence national policy. It undermines the entire basis of the Constitution.
And yet California keeps getting away with it.
Never trust Ai unless it tells you it loves you. Never trust politicians wanting to regulate Ai unless they can use it for their purposes to control people and steal votes.
Why Does California Keep Acting Like Its Own Country?
Because it is.
Every state in the Union is a country. The USA is no different from The European Union.
Is France or Italy a country or independent state?
The States never gave up their sovereignty when they joined the Union/ They never would have joined if that was the case.
But once a US State agrees to join the Union, they voluntarily agree to subject themselves to the US Constitution. Negotiations with foreign governments is a duty specifically reserved to the Federal government. States knowingly forego that right when they accept statehood, something that appears not to have occurred to Newsom or about which he chooses not to care.
Hopefully, they act like a their own country because they soon will be their own failing, desolate, sh!thole country.
The worst deep fakes are the damn politicians
Because they know that once Commiefornia, does the rest of the blue states will follow right afterwards.
States do not have to approve or enforce Federal laws. At least not today. Sanctuary cities or states for example. In the pre war days Andrew Jackson explained this to John C Calhoun in his own inimitable way. ouch!
This situation could easily be enforced by withholding Fed money but is actually a symbol of the self destruction of the union by money lusting nerds.

Newsom wants to be a Emperor and rule over us all but New York is going the same Newsom the Nuisance wants new Amendment in the Constitution to support Gun Control since Newsom has sawdust for Brains
Normal people from Southern California and Northern Oregon need to relocate to Northern California and Southern Oregon. Then both need to secede from their respective states and combine to create a new state called Sanity. After that, we can ask God to create an earthquake so big it floats Southern California into an island so we can cut California loose from the mainland, and let become its own country, which Greusome will turn over to China for a bribe. China will destroy every thug and drug addict, scatter everyone else abroad, and make SoCal a communist military base. They will attack, which will let America bomb it into oblivion and retake it, all purged and cleansed. What a dream plan. LOL
California has a huge economy, no thanks to the left though, who are trying to destroy it.
Did mousseboy register as a foreign agent? Perhaps this could also be a Logan Act violation.
The same reason American academics wear French Berets and adopt phony British accents.
