I never really understood, but now that that house bill passed that may end up blocking AI regulation from individual States. I get it. I don't like knowing that even if everyone in my state wanted to stop companies from using AI for hiring decisions, we couldn't.

Texans, I feel you.

Edit: I'm learning a lot about Texas in this thread. Thanks for all the context folks.

I pass a billboard that advertises a Texit crypto coin. They claim no ties to government, but echo every exit reason possible that has been mentioned. The coin has grown from .10 to over a dollar in just a few months. They are trying to fund the exit process through dark money for sure.

That is a strange project. It makes me uneasy. Thanks for sharing.

From the website:

For Texas by Texans, TXC is a fast & inexpensive mineable blockchain-based cryptocurrency designed for generations of honest trade.

Lmao, I've not seen any crypto do anything like "honest trade". The main uses are rug pulls and drug purcheses from my understanding.
