While a good description of how AI Doom has progressed during 2024, I think the connection to regulation (at least the EU regulation, I am not familiar with what was proposed in California) is of the mark.

The EU regulation isn’t aimed at AI Doom, it’s aimed at banning and regulating real world practices. Think personal data, not AI going conscious.

I think that’s something to keep an eye on. The existence of the AI doom cult does not preclude there being good-faith regulations that can significantly reduce these people’s ability and incentives to do harm. Indeed the technology is so expensive and ineffective that if we can find a “reasonable compromise” plan to curb the most blatant kinds of abuse and exploitation we could easily see the whole misbegotten enterprise either on the vine.
