Of course we can't stop AI, but governments could at least do their jobs and make basic laws protecting workers or regulating the technology. Like governments should have done with the internet, but ultimately failed and ended up going full :ancap-good:, and the EU is the only western institution desperately trying to fix the situation with GDPR and various laws. The great firewall in China, for all it's faults, at least attrmps to regulate the internet and allow local industry to compete. It's not too late to learn from the past.
But unfortunately, governments are pretty much all captured by capital and won't attempt to regulate AI, and repeat the mistakes of the past.
You are of course correct, but ChatGPT was only released what, a week or two ago?
To date, most AI (like IBM Watson) were reserved for corporate clients with Scrooge-Mcduck piles of money and the true power of it wasn't really visible to the public. We haven't even begun to see the effects this will have on the broader economy.
I'm curious if governments will even bother trying to regulate it, because it feels like it's the 18th century and wondering how/if governments are going to try to regulate the loom, or if they can/should even bother trying.
