exactly. a ban or even any restriction that is "fixed" in time is a bad idea.
The frontier is evolving so fast: any regulatory regime that started with a map of capabilities that 2025 frontier had is obsolete. Same would be true next year. This just becomes a whackamole and a government which is well-meaning and has good reasons to regulate, will have trouble keeping up.
But we know this about regulations. Like there is a century of literature on how to do this for new tech. It always targets harm prevention first. I thought Demis had the right framework for that part. I don't know if I agree fully with a self-regulatory regime because can become problematic if you don't have the right people around the table.
thats why this is a legal battle as much it a technological one
it comes down to the rights to own the data you produce, and have it easily accesible. Solid is just a way of giving people option to excercise this right
that is exactly what is going to happen, as more people become aware.
that's why we all need to exercise our rights and freedoms. I'm scared that if we fail to do this in next few years. And let the AI be used in similar ways like it has been used to create social media algorithms. Then we are all fucked!
Whoever owns your AI owns you, so it better be you who owns it!
price of intelligence is dropping day by day like it or not, sooner or later price incentives for someone to host such social media experience could become financially viable
ideally you should be able in a simple way to host your stuff, in this case in a POD. That service should be provided by a utility company, same way we have internet providers now. They will be well regulated and it would be in their interest to safely hold your data because if not, they would face legal and financial consequences.
All other services would read/write from your Pod.
