As a data scientists who works in this field (but notably not for a tech company), I agree 100% with all these points. I would add an additional damage to #3 that we need to overcome is genAI that won’t produce misleading and wrong information, particularly on topics where it can be dangerous.
My feelings about generative AI:
1) I'm highly skeptical it'll ever work
2) It's distracting from actual use cases for AI
3) We need a pause until it can be done without wrecking the environment or stealing IP
4) If it does have real potential then it shouldn't be controlled by ruthless people

Texas and Florida are getting ahead of this by outlawing learning entirely
Nearly 40 percent of schools in the U.S. were built before the 1970s, when temperatures were cooler and fewer buildings needed air conditioning.
Now, in many places, it’s getting too hot to learn. wapo.st/4aBDTr5
