@mmasnick "Over and over again the things he fears as “brakes” on progress are almost always the opposite. They’re attempts to make sure that the progress is in its most useful, least damaging form, in part to avoid an overreaction and limitations as we saw with nuclear power and which some are (ridiculously) seeking around AI and online speech."
My issue is (see next post)
@mmasnick
I'm finding this paragraph confusing. Are you saying it would have been good to go more slowly with the introduction of nuclear power, but it's bad to go more slowly with the implementation of AI? You then mix in online speech, which seems to imply curbs on online speech and AI are bad? Seems on one hand you're saying be thoughtful (better nuke implementation), but not the way it's being done with AI and online speech?
Mixing these issues is what is confusing me.
