But if it was open source and we knew exactly what it was capable of it would be easier to pass legislature that restricts it and makes certain uses of it illegal.
This stuff is coming one way or another and wouldn't you rather it be properly legislated? And that we as the public could know their capabilities?

- yequalsx 14y agoLet's apply your comment to a law against murder. Doesn't have much relevance does it? Your comment isn't germane. Laws always apply to the people to whom they are written to apply to. It is true that some people don't follow some laws. Presumably violating the law carries some penalty if caught. This does not affect whether or not said law is efficacious or needed.
