This is officially the single dumbest clueless absurd statement in the history of mankind.

There needs to be a substantial, global movement to regulate artificial intelligence (AI)

That is simply the most mind numbing, stupid fricking thing ever said.

So Congress wants to regulate artificial intelligence……..Congress.
The same body that took 47 years to regulate cigarettes wants to get ahead of something that’s evolving every six months. That’s like trying to catch a tornado with a butterfly net.

We cannot regulate ourselves out of doing things we are clearly capable of doing. That is not our history. Our history is: if a human being can do something, somewhere, one of us is already doing it in a garage, on three energy drinks, with a Discord server cheering him on.

That’s humanity. We did not split the atom and then gather respectfully in a circle to discuss emotional boundaries. We made the bomb first. The ethics meeting came in later with a slideshow.

And now people are like, “We need to regulate AI.”

Oh, absolutely. Because human beings are famous for hearing the phrase “do not” and responding with restraint.

That has always worked beautifully.

That’s why nobody speeds.
Nobody pirates movies.
Nobody takes drugs.
Nobody hacks anything.
Nobody gambles.
Nobody cheats on taxes.
Nobody owns illegal guns.
Nobody downloads a VPN and clicks “I am in Luxembourg now.”
And teenage boys have never once looked at a warning label and taken it as a personal challenge.

But sure, this time we’ll stop the most powerful technology ever invented with a committee.

You really think the people who ask their nephew how to unmute Zoom are going to regulate machine intelligence?

And even if they pass something here, and that alone is a Broadway musical in three acts, what exactly is the plan internationally?

What, we regulate it in America and then China says,
“You know what, out of respect for your bipartisan framework, we’re going to slow down too”?

Of course.
And while we’re at it, let’s ask ransomware gangs and black-market coders if they’d mind honoring the Senate markup process.

That’s the fantasy.
That the whole world is going to nod solemnly and say,
“Yes, the United States has released a thoughtful 312-page compliance framework. We will all now behave.”

No.
That is not how humans work.
That is not how nations work.
That is not how competition works.

If AI means military advantage, economic advantage, surveillance advantage, propaganda advantage, cyber advantage, corporate advantage — then everybody is pushing forward.
Everybody.
Friends, enemies, allies, rivals, corporations, criminals, bored teenagers, lunatics in basements, guys with anime avatars and a processor farm in Belarus — everybody.

That’s what makes the conversation so absurd.
People talk about regulating AI like it’s a noisy bar that can be shut down at 10 p.m.

It’s not a bar.
It’s an arms race with venture capital.

And Congress is standing there with a clipboard asking if everyone has filled out the proper forms.

It’s adorable.
It’s completely insane.
But it’s adorable.
