So the White House just dropped an executive order that basically says states can't create their own AI regulations anymore. Pretty bold move tbh.

What's interesting here is the centralization angle - federal gov taking control while states lose their say. Kind of ironic when you think about how decentralization is supposed to be the future, right?

For the crypto and Web3 space, this could cut both ways. Unified rules might mean less compliance headaches across different jurisdictions. But it also means less room for innovation-friendly states to experiment with lighter frameworks.

Anyone else thinking this sets a precedent for how blockchain tech might get regulated down the line? When feds start consolidating power over emerging tech, it rarely stops at just one sector.
