California bill AB 2047 mandates 3D printers analyze each print. These scans are only feasible through cloud-connected AI scans, a surveillance apparatus that’s prone to misuse and will chill lawful speech. Creators deserve better. https://www.eff.org/3DPrintCA

@eff Don't you love getting SWATted because ChatGPT decided the bearing you're making kinda looks like a gun

@eff every part of every “thing” will be copywrited by corporations so it will be illegal to produce your own parts? Wait till they realize home machinists could and have been making actual guns at home for a century. Not like there is any shortage of #guns in this country, why bother?First they come for your #3dprinter next they come for your #lathe and #milling machine. You don’t need an internet connection for everything

@eff WTF is up with California lately?? Was age-gating OS's, of all things, not satisfying enough?

@eff inevitable, even if this fails, some idiot is going to cause a mass casualty event though some home made 3d printed thing and all the 2A lovers and politicians who keep on harping on how gun manufacturers & owners can't be even barely responsible for mass shootings will shout from rooftops how 3d printers have to be regulated & spied on and most people will just fall in line with their usual saying if you got nothing to hide got nothing to fear.

@eff Waiting for all the cases where these "cloud-connected AI scans" refuse to print a sci-fi blaster or other cosplay gun, since (for example) pretty much every gun in the Star Wars universe is based off of a real gun from history.But then CA weapon laws have a very long history of making something that looked scary to someone illegal for absolutely no practical reason, so this would be consistent at least. :eyeroll:
