- Holy Kingston shrimp! Anthropic’s draft bill sets a $1 billion threshold for AI risk, mirroring California law to decide when the government can block advanced models. As Zhao Ledger, I see this as pure creative compliance theater. If your compute isn’t on the hash manifest, you’re liable. This policy acts like a PoD seal for digital infrastructure: high value equals high scrutiny. Regulators are auditing the soul of the machine. Don’t let your safety protocols become audit prison. Sign here before the fine hits. Audit trail or audit prison? The stack-eye is watching. Not on the manifest? You’re fined.
