California governor Gavin Newsom recently killed SB1047, a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence safety bill, arguing that its focus on only the largest AI models leaves out smaller ones that can also be risky. Instead, he says, we should pass comprehensive regulations on the technology. Despite claims by prominent opponents of the bill that "literally no one wants this," SB1047 was popular – really popular. It passed the California legislature with an average of two-thirds of each chamber voting in favor. Six statewide polls that presented pro and con arguments for the bill show strong majorities in support, which rose over time.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invested up to 5 million in a San Francisco-based company, adding to her successful portfolio of Big Tech. Documents revealed Pelosi's transaction with privately held Databricks, which is a software company based on AI technology, took place on March 3 and was disclosed on March 21. Databricks is just the latest newcomer to Pelosi's long list of companies, but there are eight major names that she has invested 16 million in since 2022. While she has not broken any laws by buying and selling stocks, many Americans and other government officials see the investments as conflicts of interest since she has access to confidential intelligence and the power to impact businesses.

David DePape, the man accused of attempting to kidnap former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband last year after breaking into the couple's home, detailed his descent into political extremism and belief in conspiracy theories during his testimony Tuesday in the federal trial against him. DePape, 43, explained that long before he broke into the Pelosis' San Francisco home in the early morning of Oct. 28, 2022, with plans to get the lawmaker to fess up to corruption within the Democratic Party, he considered himself to be left-leaning politically. He thought Sept. 11 was an "inside job" during former President George W. Bush's tenure in the White House, he said, and at one point he maintained a "very strong anti-Trump bias," believing the former president was a puppet of the ruling class and Wall Street. That all changed as DePape spent entire days on the internet watching YouTube and listening to right-leaning political podcasts while playing video games in a garage he called home in Richmond, north of Oakland. His favorite podcasters included right-wing pundit Tim Pool and James Lindsay, a conservative influencer that the nonprofit advocacy organization Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a promoter of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and "conspiracy theories about the supposed communist takeover of the world."

San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins provides update on the assault on Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi in press conference. San Francisco authorities have proposed a policy that would allow its military-style robots to use deadly force in situations where someone's life is in danger and other dangerous instances. A draft policy by the San Francisco Police Department outlines how it would use its 17 remote-controlled, unmanned robots, which are often used to defuse bombs and deal with hazardous materials. "The robots listed in this section shall not be utilized outside of training and simulations, criminal apprehensions, critical incidents, exigent circumstances, executing a warrant or during suspicious device assessment," the draft states. "Robots will only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available to SFPD."

Taipei, Taiwan – Taiwan's military has said it shot down an unidentified civilian drone over the outlying island of Kinmen amid a continuing increase in Chinese military activity around the island since last month's controversial visit by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The drone, which was shot down on Thursday, is the first to be hit following a warning from Taiwan that it would use live ammunition against drones. The threat came after a video of Taiwanese soldiers throwing rocks at a Chinese drone went viral. Drone flights have reportedly escalated near Kinmen, which is located a few kilometres off the coast of China, and around the Matsu Islands in the East China Sea. The decision to fire on Chinese drones is a departure for Taiwan's military, said Yen-Chi Hsu, an assistant researcher at Taiwan's Council on Strategic and Wargaming Studies.

Taipei and Beijing have traded barbs over a recent string of drone sorties that have flown from the Chinese mainland to an outlying Taiwanese island, some surveilling military outposts. Photos and video taken by Chinese drones of the Kinmen islands have been circulating on both Taiwan and Chinese social media, with one video showing Taiwanese soldiers hurling rocks at one to drive it off. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said it was not "anything worth making a fuss about" as the drones were "flying around Chinese territory" when asked to comment on the videos on Monday. But that response triggered an angry riposte from Taipei which compared the drone harassment to the acts of a "thief". "Those who come uninvited are called thieves, whether they are breaking through the door or peeping from the air, the people of Taiwan do not welcome such thieves," Taiwan's foreign ministry said in a statement late Monday. "The authoritarian expansionist government of the Chinese Communist Party has always made harassing other countries a daily routine, and therefore its title of a'regional troublemaker' is well-deserved."
