Sorry but most of this is wrong. History has shown time and time again that you need the guardrails that regulation/laws provides in order to channel progress in an effective direction. Otherwise the negatives of human nature destroy progress. We have seen this recently with the rampant criminality and negative behaviours permanently crippling the crypto space. In the AI space there is no evidence that allowing models with illegal/unethical content is going to magically translate to some boost in performance, capability or efficacy than would otherwise happen. In fact again history has shown that the opposite is likely to happen. That having models that don't exhibit negative effects e.g. racism, sexism will result in them being used in more places and exposed to wide audiences. Thus translating to a bigger net benefit for society.
