I mean, yeah, I'm not arguing with your conclusions, I just think you're overly optimistic.
Nobody is talking about putting Altman in jail for violations of the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act, even though that's exactly what should be happening. Instead they've got investors lining up around the block to buy a piece of it.
You seem a bit defensive though.
Republicans control the House, Senate, and Oval right now...
Do I really need to explain why they're not doing anything?
You can't figure that one out on you're own?
Midterms are in a month...
Because midterms are in a month, and a shit ton of people are pushing really hard that nothing can ever be done so it's pointless to try.
Be a doomer after midterms and I won't give a fuck. But right now trump and the AI techbros are spending a shit ton of money to convince the left not to vote.
Don't do their work for them.
Who said anything about not voting?
