I never really understood, but now that that house bill passed that may end up blocking AI regulation from individual States. I get it. I don't like knowing that even if everyone in my state wanted to stop companies from using AI for hiring decisions, we couldn't.

Texans, I feel you.

Edit: I'm learning a lot about Texas in this thread. Thanks for all the context folks.

Thank you, I'm really glad ☺️

And to be entirely honest, from my not-so-informed perspective it kinda feels like the north winning the civil war really entrenched a stronger version of federalism than we might have had otherwise, had the civil war just not been a thing. But it almost feels like that reforged USAs national and political identity around more centralization, with those wishing to splinter off having been quashed by those who wished for unification.

No idea if that's at all accurate, but it feels like the way federalism has been portrayed to me as an early debate in US history is weaker than the version we see post-civil-war. Certainly weaker than the version we have today but I don't think anyone would debate that lol.

Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud, I hope you have a lovely day :)
