> What's the alternative? The government banning AI TV for 30 years until the long term studies are done? YES! YES. Holy shit yes. We don't allow medicines or food additives that are substantially different from previous ones into our food supply FOR THIS EXACT REASON. You know what would be even better than a ban? If these tech companies gave even the slightest ghost of a shit and maybe didn't immediately sprint to market with half-finished products the effects of which are completely unknown simply because there is no law that is explicitly preventing them from doing so and getting some goddamn information first about them and then bringing them to market. And that would be even better for this, what with a whole bunch of these companies also funneling money into think tanks dedicated to making sure the AI's they are burning money to build don't fucking kill us. Holy. Actual. Shit. Like imagine being this incredulous at the notion of taking some fucking time to research the effects short term and long term of a new kind of entertainment BEFORE we just shotgun it out into the fucking world to our most impressionable and vulnerable population. Heaven forbid a modicum of reasonable caution, we have INNOVATION TO DO!!! Christ.

So you want to ban AI for 30 years, that's just completely impractical. It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can. We allow all sorts of food additives that are only now being banned because they turned out to be bad. I'm not saying we should allow them, but in general we do. All of your complaints may be valid but you are living in some sort of fantasy land if you think that is going to happen. That's just not the way the world works.

  > So you want to ban AI for 30 years, that's just completely impractical. Yeah I'm sure there was a legion of corporate whining when they said the same thing about banning children working in coal mines. We'll adjust. > It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can. I mean most AI researchers seem at best unsure about the technology they're building. That being said, I don't know if AI is bad for us long term, but I know damn well AI driven by profits is terrible for us right now and I'm cool with banning that for eternity. > All of your complaints may be valid but you are living in some sort of fantasy land if you think that is going to happen. That's just not the way the world works. Just because you can't imagine a better world doesn't mean everyone else can't.
