Customer-service tools, technical or research systems, and certain internal corporate uses are exempt under Senate Bill S9051B.
Does technical systems mean API based inference providers are off the hook or not? Otherwise I guess it’s time to break out the jailbreak prompts for the Chipotle chatbot.

Might convince some people to try out a local AI that runs entirely on one of their systems instead and is thus inherently private and can be uncensored. That is, if they ever hear about this being a possibility.
I consider myself an AI skeptic, but if one wants to use AI for whatever purpose (mine is curiosity - I don’t use AI for anything other than experimentation), local AI is the way to go, in my opinion. You can run pretty impressive stuff on any halfway decent PC (I first started out with with hardware from 2017) - and if you have a powerful system (good CPU, 64 GB RAM, modern GPU with at least 12, better 16 GB of RAM), you can use a software like Strata to run AI models at impressive speeds that would normally require hardware that is out of reach for ordinary people.
