Comment on AI-focused tech firms locked in ‘race to the bottom’, warns MIT professor
lily33@lemm.ee 1 year agoI think calling it “dangerous” in quotes is a bit disingenuous - because there is real potential for danger in the future - but what this article wants is totally not the way to manage that.

It would be an obvious attempt at pulling up the ladder if we were to see regulation on ai before we saw regulation on data collection from social media companies. Wen have already seen that weaponized. Why are we going to regulate something before it gets weaponized when we have other recent tech, unregulated, being weaponized?

I saw a post the other day about how people crowd sourced scraping grocery store prices. They could present a good case for price fixing and collusion. Web scraping is already pretty taboo and this AI fear mongering will be the thing that is used to make it illegal.

It won’t be illegal because there is repeated supreme court precedent for it to be categorically legal.
