This is assuming the whole "AI safety" thing was anything more than Silicon Valley kool aid. The government just bought into the marketing and radical safety woo woo wholesale and panicked. You could legitimately argue this is a u

This is a popular social media take that is being pushed very hard by clickbait and doomposters, so it's not exactly going against the tide. Social media is always trying to make things sound way worse than they are and journalists are

That sentence very likely won't hold up on appeal as it's obviously very very excessive and non-standard. That said, I don't believe the commenters above were defending the sentencing. They were debating whether it was a legi

I’ve been critical of crony capitalism consistently on HN for a decade now. Many people just haven’t been paying attention because nobody cares to follow this stuff unless there’s a useful political angle.
