I think we are past the point where there’s a question of whether the world will respond with government action to AI, and onto the question of what the government action will be and whether it’s any good.
I fear that many people will rightly judge that something must be done, but not be good judges of what is a good response. Though perhaps people will been drawn towards “just don’t build it” as Schelling simple strategy and that could work...if adequate measures are put in place to enforce, which is non-trivial, so I guess the main point stands.
Now in the last days and few weeks we’ve seen a lot of voices arise in the pro-concern camp, the Hugging Face incident kicking that off and Coxon’s resignation adding a lot more, but I don’t think the pro-build it camp is going to stay quiet and let the show be shut down. I expect they’re gathering themselves up for a response. Probably go hard on the “it’s a PR marketing stunt” line because it seems to get so much traction. Idk. I think the memetic war is going to ramp up from here.
And a point I keep coming back to: I don’t think things get intense from here linearly. I think as mad as things seem, we’ve got a ways to go yet. Buckle up, buttercup, swarm’s a’comin’.
