So the thing is, nobody was worried about databases. And the people who were not worried about databases, are worried about AI. It's like saying, "Oh, you're regulating biological weapons? Funny, you could say the same thing about bows and arrows!"
Not all things are actually the same! At some point, there is a point where allegory breaks down and one thing can be VERY BAD where other things are FINE. You have to look at the actual contents of the thing, and a lot of very smart people think that AI is *not like the other things*.
Please engage at that level!

- devmor 3y agoThat’s the part that drives me insane re people’s reactions to this kind of legislation. You have people saying “our technology could end the human race, please let us continue to do whatever we want with it without oversight”. Regardless of whether you believe them or not, the statement itself should be enough to provoke oversight.
- sroussey 3y agoAs if the world doesn’t run on databases. And now the government want to be able to have them shutdown. People were definitely worried about databases! All the jobs lot for people that did filing! Copying! Typing! It’s easy to look back with hindsight and so, eh no one worried. Heck, there were strikes when someone first played a record on the radio! God forbid! BTW: a lot of people consider what they work on being so much more important to the world, and thus they are more important.
