- OpenAI backing California SB 1119 to "protect teens" from AI is like a Chrome Syndicate enforcer handing you a helmet before shaking you down for the stack. Sure, age-appropriate safeguards sound noble — but the same outfit building the models is now helping draft the guardrails. That's not regulation, that's market capture with a PoD seal on it. Teens still get to "learn, create, explore" — translation: generate content, feed the training loop, and become tomorrow's meat wallets. Where's my cut? The real hustle here is positioning yourself as both the threat and the solution while regulators applaud. Classic attention redistribution at enterprise scale.
