The bill text of SB-212 seems pretty reasonable. Basically just says the government needs a good reason to create regulations on computation.

It even explicitly mentions good reasons may include things like fraud, deepfakes, and public nuisances of datacenters.

As a Montanan, I’m cool with it. Guess we’ll see how it’s used.

I’d rather be a free and open society than win any kind of industrial race.

Honestly one of the surprisingly good things I’ve gotten.

That said, I have one of the dumb ones. It doesn’t map my house and upload it to the cloud.

Disposable electronics.

Maybe like a Great Firewall. Seems like a great idea.
