If companies are crying about it then it's probably a great thing for consumers.
Eat billionaires.
Ahh, yes. Elon Musk, paragon of consumer protection. Let's just trust his safety guy.
So if smaller companies are crying about huge companies using reglation they have lobbied for (as in this case through a lobbying oranisation set up with "effective altruism" money) being used prevent them from being challenged: should we still assume its great?
Rewind all the stupid assumptions you're making and you basically have no comment left.
Bravo on the concise take down. What a great way to put that
Which assumption? It's a fact that this was co-sponsored by the CAIS, who have ties to effective altruism and Musk, and it is a fact that smaller startups and open source groups are complaining that this will hand an AI oligopoly to huge tech firms.
My current day is only just starting, so I'll modify the standard quote a bit to ensure it encompasses enough things to be meaningful; this is the dumbest thing I've read all yesterday.
Companies cry the same way about the bills to ban end to end encryption, and they're still bad for consumers too
Fair point
It's designed to give the big players a monopoly, seems bad for the majority of us
