No, the only propaganda is the billions of $ telling you “don’t worry about possible harm, regulations are bad, us VCs, Trillion $ corps, and wannabe billionair

No, the only propaganda is the billions of $ telling you “don’t worry about possible harm, regulations are bad, us VCs, Trillion $ corps, and wannabe billionaires have your best interest in mind.” A16z and YC are vehemently against the CA and DC regulation right now. Out of LeCun, Bengio, and Hinton, the one with $10m on the line says not to worry and the professor and resigned-Google-to-warn-you are saying hmm this is very serious…

Nothing you said refutes the above commentator. In fact it sounds like you worship at the alter of AI Safety.

  it's tough living in a world with regulation, eh?

    Yes, particularly when the regulations are being pushed for by the very corporate interests that they're supposedly aimed at, because said regulations are asinine, dishonest and based on very specific, specifically crafted types of fear mongering. On the other hand, other regulations (that already exist and do get applied against lesser mortals!) magically don't have the same teeth against major AI players. These rules involving things like mass use of other people's media with next to no permission. Regulations can be good, but it would first be nice if they were applied with at least a modicum of rationality and fairness.

      Alas. Ayn Rand has passed and we have no one to save us from the communists in government.

        So you're just trolling then.. The alternative is that you're so absurdly dogmatic in defending regulations no matter their provenance, underlying reasons, or cost that anyone who criticizes the many shades of grey around certain regulations is automatically some sort of Randian libertarian fanatic.

  Do you worship at the altar* of Climate Change Safety for believing the scientists vs. the energy corporations?
