It’s a bit late in the game to start pumping the brakes now.

What are the specific accusations? What “disregard for human life” are they talking about? Jobs and financial livelihood? Data center construction? Governments using AI for military practices? Who’s actually died?

I mean, I dislike AI as much as anyone else, but I don’t understand how this will stick in court. Are they just throwing everything at it to see what sticks? If it all gets ruled down, I can’t imagine that being a good thing.

Oh holy hell you’re right. I tapped the wrong link and just ended up on a page with a summary not the actual article. I’m becoming an old man. :(
