AI's future in California hangs in the balance.

Isn't California the Capitol of the world? ;-)

I really don't think that the AI guys want to be anywhere else.

If it were a country, it would be the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world. Not debating; just saying it can have a big impact.

It's also somewhat unique as a state (maybe?) in that it has a ton of corporate exports (namely, tech), as well as gigantic agricultural output. Illinois comes to mind as a similar situation. Contrast to Alaska (oil) or NY (NYC finance/corporate).

If California passes major restrictions on AI training then I think AI guys would very much want to be anywhere else.

There are already plenty of places to go. Major centers of AI activity include the UK, France, Israel, China and Canada. Many of the top AI companies aren't headquartered in California even if they're US-based.
