Elon Musk’s xAI has lost its bid for a preliminary injunction that would have temporarily blocked California from enforcing a law that requires AI firms to publicly share information about their training data.
xAI had tried to argue that California’s Assembly Bill 2013 (AB 2013) forced AI firms to disclose carefully guarded trade secrets.
The law requires AI developers whose models are accessible in the state to clearly explain which dataset sources were used to train models, when the data was collected, if the collection is ongoing, and whether the datasets include any data protected by copyrights, trademarks, or patents. Disclosures would also clarify whether companies licensed or purchased training data and whether the training data included any personal information. It would also help consumers assess how much synthetic data was used to train the model, which could serve as a measure of quality.
If you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide, Elon.
Trade secrets are evil, everyone knows that. Like who you stole from.
Isn’t that what you tell us, Elon?

How do you actually enforce this? What’s stopping these companies from just lying about what training data they use?
what’s stripping these companies lying about their financial data to tax authorities?
there are lots of self-report mechanisms that we use… it’s just not worth the blowback of non-disclosure to lie about it. some people do, and sometimes they get caught; not always, but overall it’s a net benefit to transparency
I don’t know anything about accounting, but at first blush it seems like tax evasion and so forth would be easier to detect because the government can look at their bank activity and perform random audits, and so on. In contrast I don’t really know what tools we’d use to catch people lying about their training data
carefully guarded trade secrets
AKA stolen content
AKA Social Security data stolen by DOGE
Don’t forget his child porn image generator, what sort of training data did he use to get that result?
If you ask an AI image generator for a bed shaped like a pineapple, it’ll give you one without having a single pineapple-shaped bed in the training data. It has beds and pineapples and it can mash the two together.
If you’ve got naked adults in the training data and you’ve got children in the training data, it’s going to be able to generate child porn.
Oh no how unfortunate.
Why is his CSAM generator still in app stores?
Who is going to remove it? Trump’s friend Tim Cook? Trump’s friend Jeff Bezos? Trump’s friend Sundar Pichai? Or Trump’s friend Satya Nadella?
Monopolists don’t want to lose their monopolies.
Which of why they are all Trump’s friend. They are the friend of who ever is in power and doesn’t get in the way (or helps) make the stock price larger.
If Trump disappeared tomorrow and was replaced with a progressive they would change their tune immediately.
Corporations don’t have morals and have no qualms about being hypocritical. If they are publically traded the only language they speak is “stock go up” and “stock go down”.
Hey, maybe Musk is even right that this will lead to the death of xAI; I do not see a downside in this.
Oh no! Better kys Elon!
I DONT care WHERE they got the Data ALL I want is to be Able to make ACCURATE CSAM!
-Elon Musk and Republicans!
Xitter or xAI shouldn‘t be allowed anyway and California cyberlaws are bonkers. I would hope both instances tear each other apart.
Some it it will have DOGE as a source.
The more you can rattle his cage the better
Why is that even an option for an illegal alien though
California, the EU of America.
not far off, sadly
Easy come easy go?
has california tried to spy on our chats too?
They’re working up to it with “age verification” bullshit.
you have an article to go with that or is it just your grumbling
so, i see that the article mentioned discord’s leak, but it did not say that california was going after discord next. that was kind of my point.
yeah, it’s identity verification, not age verification, but once they have gone the step of ID verification, why do they need to bother snooping the chats? they already know who you are. they can just pull your online ID and whatever is associated with it. it’s one step further in the game, if they get it we’ve lost whatever anonymity we thought we had (unless we pile the entire family’s devices onto one ID and that’s an anonymizing tactic but not great).
Awww. Too bad… so sad…
Oh no! Anyways
