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 The famous "Regulations hinder progress" that so many libertarians have been pushing as much as they can for years (e.g. cryptos, but the same people are behind both AI & cryptos).
The ultimate goal being reflected in the "Network State".

Even the tiniest incremental good regulation like standardising phone charger plug shapes were met with shouts of "this is hindering innovation".
