SB 53 Forces AI Labs to Unmask Their Robo-Skeletons

SB 53 just dropped the mic on AI giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google DeepMind by making transparency about their safety protocols mandatory. Apparently, lawmakers asked, 'Show us your boring but needed safety rules or no candy.' It also throws whistleblower protections at employees, basically saying 'Feel free to rat out rogue bots without fearing a RoboKaren backlash.' Meanwhile, these are the same companies renowned for hiding their secret sauce deeper than grandma's meatloaf recipe — now forced to spill the tea on how their AI doesn’t go full Skynet. It’s the AI version of ā€˜trust but verify,’ but with legal wrenches thrown in.
