the AI Safety Measures Act creates a framework that will require the “developers of the largest advanced AI systems” (read: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) to provide public disclosures as to their safety practices, report any significant safety incidents, and remain in line with a set of compliance processes. It also creates a channel for whistleblowers working inside AI labs to safely and securely relay any safety concerns they might have without fear of repercussions.

Whoa this sounds pretty serious. It asks these companies to self report safety incidents and creates a "channel" for whistleblowers.

That's some serious hammer dropping. 🙄

OpenAI and Anthropic both endorsed the bill as it moved through the legislature

Of course they did because this is just the Democratic version of what Republicans do with regulatory capture. They just like to dress their version up with a facade of "consumer protections" when the law doesn't actually protect anyone or improve anything.
