wait so the plan is pause construction until congress passes something? based on how fast they moved on social media regulation that's less a moratorium and more a forever thing

If I wanted the opinion of an out of touch obsolete fossil , I’d go to a natural history museum and ask the T. rex skeleton. The AI companies are raking money in, and aren’t going to let anyone get in their way.

Without a massive boost to US worker productivity, the existing Federal debt will be impossible to pay back. We will default causing a global economic catastrophe. Can AI lead to that productivity boost? Maybe, maybe not. But it's literally the only possibility out there.

Really? What about stopping the massive amount of spending on useless wars and giving billionaires more money and start having them pay taxes like everyone else? How about stopping all the grift in this administration and prosecuting the illegal behaviors?

That is literally what I just talked, 100% of such useless spending needs to be stopped but that alone isn't enough to make the required difference. Note: 2.9m people work in the military and 2.2m work making weapons, removing that funding means 3% of US work force needs new jobs.

a 10-year AI moratorium is theater. the countries that would actually follow through aren't the ones anyone's worried about. real regulation needs to be narrower and faster than this
