This isn’t just abstract, historically in the South, it was often the feds who wanted to protect Black citizens and the state governments who wanted to avoid this under the banner of state’s rights.
This is exactly what I was thinking about. I thought this was the reason why the civil rights movement was heavily reliant on the constitutional amendments passed during Reconstruction.
What is your point? In this case Congress is showing no interest in AI regulation and is heavily lobbied by AI labs and related defense contractors, but state legislatures can act as a check on this, as the federalist system intended.

I agree that emphasizing the virtues of federallism is good in general and also in this particular case :)
