This bill sounds like a doozy, but would it actually pass? Maybe I just don't understand legislating well enough, but why would one try to legislate with such broad strokes when we have no precedent for these types of bills

it will certainly be edited and some of the really egregious errors will (probably) be fixed or at least improved.

I don't know the political odds of this bill passing, but I can say that a very similar bill already passed in Colorado.

I wonder to what extent it is possible or practical for the federal government to implement its own overarching AI regulatory scheme, effectively kneecapping the various states' efforts to regulate the technology. Of course, if this is possible or practical, there is no guarantee that the federal regulations would be better or wiser. But dealing with one regulatory framework (federal) surely has to be better than dealing with 50.

100%. I have pushed very strongly for preemption--the government can actually simply say "states may not do X" without "doing X" themselves. And any substantive federal regulation would preempt state action in that same kind of regulation.

Good dive into TRAIGA, I have run an ElevenLabs audio output of it, with different "speakers" for the various sources to differentiate during listening, for those that more easily adsorb that kind of content:
