I have an allergic reaction to any promise to "turbocharge" anything - it either oversells capabilities or underestimates our ability to use otherwise useful tools for fundamentally counterproductive purposes - but this is worth a read www.ft.com/content/d20e... #ai #AGI

Interesting. Should states be banned from regulating AI if it means no regulation at all (in the US) for 10 yrs? Or should they be free to do so unless the federal government pre-empts it? Also, shout out to the term "tech bro-ligarchs"😆https://www.ft.com/content/52ae52f1-531e-462f-898f-e9f86b3b1869
