Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The US Congress wants to regulate AI

Good luck with that. AI is just a slightly new software thingy. In fact, IBM has worked on  more human-like computer interfaces for decades.


Can you really define what is AI and what is just clever software stuff? Plus it's world-wide now, and you can't insulate the US from internet things without a police state. 


 Senate starts to fracture over how to govern AI

So, can we regulate China? Russia? Iran? India? Nope.

Any regulation that can be written will leave many areas of ambiguity, and these will be largely resolved in favor of those players who are (a) largest, or (b) best politically-connected, or (c) both.

AI is many things. But the iteration most people think of today is a learning AI that becomes smarter over time. And that time could be relatively short. AI "could" very quickly change our world and it can easily be misused and I personally think that is exactly what we will see. That is a very fast takeover by AI that will be totally misused and abused.

All you have to do is look at what is being done today and it isn't for the better good.

We have almost $33 trillion in debt (excluding unfunded liabilities) and we're being invaded (overrun) on the southern border...and these corrupt fools are discussing what?
