Most of the proposals you see center around issues like removing bias, preventing malicious use, protecting personal data, and a bunch of other shit that makes you sound like the devil if you don't do literally anything they ask of you to achieve it.

These major entities like OpenAI and the "Center for AI and Digital Policy" do not give a shit about these things. These things are ways to establish a foot in the door to ensure that only major corporate providers can work in this space.

The end result of this is a world where the rich dominate AI to a far greater extent than they would otherwise.

AI can be regulated, but handing power to unaccountable corporate boards is not the answer. Corporations are a type of AI all their own, and if you're worried about computerized AI taking over the world you should be a hundred times more concerned about the gestalt consciousnesses that are corporate entities gaining exclusive dominance in this sphere. They are the slow moving, mechanistic, analogue AI we've had with us for much longer than we've had computers. If you put the two together on this kind of scale and exclude the public, the end result could be horrifying. These entities only care about enlarging their own power, profits, and interests. They are not your friends.

We must focus on principles that ensure the technology is accessible to ordinary people. And, that the rules about how you can use it are not controlled by the most powerful and least accountable members of our society.
