Recently, a group of tech giants and venture capitalists have jointly issued a statement opposing SB1047, a bill proposed by California Senator Scott Wiener aimed at strengthening regulations on artificial intelligence. This bill has sparked strong opposition from the tech industry.
Founding partners of Andreessen Horowitz, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, along with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith, have jointly issued a statement against the SB1047 bill. They claim that the bill will have negative impacts on both startups and large tech companies.

In fact, the proposed law specifically protects small models and startups. The statement by Andreessen and Horowitz is considered misinformation, attempting to mislead the public and lawmakers.
This drama is part of a larger strategy employed by big tech companies. They operate at the state level, trying to undermine state bills while demanding federal solutions. This strategy is to protect their interests, not genuinely concerned about the development of startups and small models.
In their statement, Andreessen and Horowitz propose what they call a "policy opportunity," attempting to mislead the public and lawmakers. They support "various responsible market-oriented approaches," but in reality, they hope the government will stop regulating, allowing the industry to decide which regulations are worth considering.
Andreessen and Horowitz also attempt to mislead the public and lawmakers about copyright law. They claim that copyright law prevents machines from using data, but in fact, copyright law is designed to protect intellectual property and ensure creators can gain real value.
They claim the statement is to protect the interests of large tech companies, not genuinely concerned about the development of startups and small models. Their strategy is to mislead the public and lawmakers, undermine regulations, and protect their interests.
