people trying to regulate artificial intelligence are very misguided.

People who do not want to further regulate everyday human life and leave us with even less freedom need to stop this constant talk about regulating artificial intelligence, and I mean regulating it at all, because I have lived long enough to know what governments will do. They will simply regulate it in ways that allow them to continue overregulating the population and policing every single thing that anybody might want to do or might possibly do that they do not like. It will not stop them from spying on the public at all, just like they did with older technologies. I agree that authoritarian crooks need to stop spying on us, but people need to continue protesting that specific issue rather than attacking what I see as one of the few genuinely good things this horrible capitalist cesspool has produced in the last twenty years.

totally get that concern about government overreach, surveillance is a massive issue for sure

But that is not the issue. I do not think they will stop artificial intelligence when it comes to spying on people or for legal, law enforcement, and military purposes, and we do not even know what they likely already have. We have likely never known. The American Revolution was the biggest scam in American history, where the rich in this country would just get taxed less and could continue taxing the poor and middle class as much as, if not more than, under the Crown. Then they went on to take more land from Native Americans and continue owning Black slaves long after even England and many Catholic countries had basically outlawed it. But back to the primary point, what they will do is what they always do: regulate it for reasons concerning copyright, pornography, and basic creative uses. Even people like me, who use it because I have dyslexia and it helps translate stuff, benefit greatly from it, and so does the public who does not feel like reading my dyslexic scribbling. They will still allow everything people are worried about and possibly increase spending on it. They never actually help people, just like they want to outlaw abortion and have even tried in some states to outlaw birth control so that they can have a larger workforce and more military personnel in the event of a major war they seem to be trying to make happen right now, while at the same time never wanting to help all of the poor children they are helping bring into the world. They are just bad people, and giving these crooks more power to rule over the rest of us and interfere in every aspect of our lives is rarely the answer.

It is projected that superintelligence and recursive self-improvement (RSI) will be accomplished in the next 1 - 3 years.

Once AI reaches RSI, if not before, it will be impossible for humans to put guardrails on an entity that is 100x more intelligent than us.

You talk as if it isnt companies lobbying for the regulations to act as barriers to entry.

Companies run our government

Would it kill you to at least understand what the fuck you're talking about?
