I keep hearing this but I’ve never heard a coherent plan about how we’d go forwards with AI, like what is the actual strategy and do we actually think this will end. By all accounts it’s probably not going to be ideal?

Perhaps you need to let go of the idea that humanity actually has direct control of how things unfold. Instead focus on your own situation. The idea there is a possibility of an “actual strategy” is I think the real flaw. Government can try to regulate products but given the 8 billion people and numerous advanced economies on the planet any locations that attempts to restrict products that use LLMs for proposed harm instead of realized harm will probably put themselves at a disadvantage.
