Techbro stance: "Regulating AI is hindering innovation."

The purpose of regulation is to protect humans from harm, support wellbeing and promote societal sustainability.

So the techbro stance is "I can't invent new stuff if I can't fuck with people's lives and health."

Except that's not innovation, that's abuse.

Politicians and media really need to start understanding the difference.

@axbom this.

Plus, regulation creates the space for innovation.

Regulating power sockets and electric current available through them made it possible for independent innovators to create new devices using electricity.

Regulating phone chargers made it easier for things like powerbanks to emerge.

Anti-trust regulations used to break Bell Systems stranglehold on electronics and telecommunication tech in the USA helped make the Internet happen.

Techbros are benefiting from regulation a lot.

@rysiek

They're just too privileged and egotistical to accept any limits.

The Epstein files prove that.
