A point I find myself raising repeatedly: people focus on tech policy within a silo (privacy, speech, safety, copyright, competition, etc.), without understanding the actual impact on the system, where you push on just one of those levers and don't realize it's disastrous for the other ones.
A vital point here, first driven home to me by Cory Doctorow in the context of copyright policy, is that many forms of tech regulation that strike lots of folks as appealing and commonsensical would in practice require a fairly massive surveillance apparatus to meaningfully enforce.
“In fact, it would not have occurred to any liberal before the 1950s that one could settle these issues by rejecting the desirability of human flourishing; and that without some conception of the good, even the public good, one could decide what policy is ‘best’ (and how to rank its kinds).”

AI is an inappropriate tool for any application where you want the output to be true.
Last month Amazon rolled out ai-gen video recaps of a few of its most popular original series. They’ve now disabled the feature after viewers pointed out the recaps were getting key plot points wrong.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.
