Hey, just wanted to plug an grassroots advocacy nonprofit, PauseAI, that’s lobbying to pause AI development and/or increase regulations on AI due to concerns around the environment, jobs, and safety. They recruit volunteers to spread awareness, contact congress, etc – it’s just one more way you can fight back against the AI industrial complex!
Nobody said it had to be publicly available to be developed or used. Governments can push this along just fine.
Economic sanctions haven’t worked against Russia so far, why would they work against China or India or whoever else wants to do it.
