Everyone with a brain has been saying this would happen for the last decade, and yet there was no legislation put in place to target this behavior
Why does every law need to be reactionary? Why can't we see a situation developing and get ahead of it by legislating the very obvious things it can be used for?
Why is the solution to every problem outlawing something?
"We need to do something about prostitution. Let's outlaw it!"
"We need to do something about alcohol. Let's outlaw it!"
"We need to do something about drugs. Let's outlaw them!"
"We need to do something about gambling. Let's outlaw it!"
All of it... a bunch of miserable failures, which have put good people in prison and turned our whole country into a goddamn police state. You can't outlaw technology without international treaties to make sure every other country follows suit. That barely works with nuclear weapons, and only because two cities exploded by the bombs and at least a couple decades of being afraid of a nuclear apocalypse.
What the hell do you think is going to happen if we make moves on AI? China takes the lead, does what it wants, and suddenly, it's the far superior superpower. The end.
Hell, how do we know this isn't China propaganda running on China's propaganda platform?
At no point did you come anywhere close to anything that can be considered a rational thought
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
