I kinda feel like this attitude, like “free market capitalism”, allows more bad things to happen with the potential for some unseen/immeasurable force to “correct” the environment once the Bad Thing is recognized and rationally dealt with. But there are probably better ways to avoid Bad Things that require only a little additional forethought, planning, and deciding ahead of time what sorts of things we’d like to avoid (oh no, regulation!).

I write really bad Haskell code sometimes without any AI assistance. Am I doing a Bad Thing when I create my own tools? What are you intending to regulate here?

- itishappy 2y agoTo be clear, you're saying that people with no ability to reason about code are currently in a position to push unreviewed code into critical government infrastructure? Do you have an example?
