>...Bernie Sanders was on the radio today demanding a 20 year prison sentence for anyone developing AI technology which endangers humanity. Who gets to tell him the office he is running for doesn't have that authority, nor does congress. But states do. Any one of the 50 states can legally outlaw AI development.

Clarification: states have the authority to outlaw development of AI, but only IN THAT STATE. California is developing an attitude against AI.
I can foresee Nevada becoming a very important state, because of its open-minded attitude toward power production, and what I think will be an open-minded attitude toward development of AI.
I recently toured West Virginia, family history. They are developing data centers bigtime there. They have water, they have coal, they have an eagerness to create jobs in the business of building data centers. Future big players: Nevada, West Virginia, Wyoming.
This place is ground zero for my own family history:

Holden West Virginia. They have coal, they have natural gas in abundance, they have water, they have eager and hungry laboring class. Some locals are resisting, and I think I know why: they don't know anything about AI and don't want to change. But more of the locals want jobs. I predict the Adams Fork Harless Data Center will be built.
