Profit crushing regulation is the key to a functional society. No slavery, no dumping toxic waste, workers’ protections… all choices we’ve agreed are worth more than money.
We can agree that you aren’t allowed to replace someone’s livelihood with AI. (My hope is this that we solve the livelihood problem and keep the AI, but that’s not what this is about)
You’re thinking with your heart, which isn’t going to work for the world. Companies can save money with it so it’s inevitable. We need to learn how to make it less damaging. There’s no sense spinning our Wheels trying to stop it from happening because we can’t.
Did you not read my comment? Companies could make way more money without regulation; it’s a huge (shortsighted) right-wing talking point. But we can and have regulated them to stop abuses for profit. To say there’s nothing we can do about the use of AI is like opposing minimum wage at its inception because companies are going to limit their expenses in any way they can and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
It is with that attitude.
