Regardless of your personal feelings about AI, this is pretty clumsy regulation that will just cause Tiebout sorting away from NY. If there are negative externalities, tax 'em, use the proceeds for some feel-good social programming, and let the data center builders internalize the costs...
it's wild to me how many AI written articles get front page on HN

The OP article is also just so, so obviously AI slop... if you're already thinking "this is probably AI" and pangram thinks the same, that's fairly damning.
Pangram reports 76% of this text is AI generated.
You're making a strong statement about the counterfactual here; how could you know? Clearance rates for most crimes in the US are abysmal, the expected outcome for most crimes is "unsolved."
Poverty alleviation is not a silver bullet (or anywhere close) for crime reduction, as nice as it would be if that were true.
According to Pangram, this is likely AI generated, surprised that no one has pointed this out
This is straight up AI generated economic disinformation. Are you seriously claiming that computers cost more in real terms today than 20 years ago?? Some of these goods (housing) do cost more, but a lot of these examples don't make any sense.
Rent seeking via occupational licensing, there is nothing new under the sun
Companies soliciting big bounties should charge a fee to submit, making slop costly. Steam, the video game publisher, does this. Developers need to pay a fee to list their game, and if their game sells sufficient volume, the fee is returned. Creating a separating equilibrium here is not hard, the hand wringing is weird to me.
