If you believe that the incidents of the past month warrant urgent AI regulation, please watch this first.

This is the most prescient, concise argument for why we must be careful of excessive AI regulation. It comes from a Feb. 2024 (2.5 years ago!) congressional testimony from @glukianoff, a free speech advocate and the author of The Coddling of the American Mind.

Here's what he said:

"But the most chilling threat that the government poses in the context of emerging AI is regulatory overreach that limits its potential as a tool for contributing to human knowledge.

A regulatory panic could result in a small number of Americans deciding for everyone else what speech, ideas and even questions are permitted in the name of 'safety' or 'alignment.'

I have dedicated my life to defending freedom of speech because it's an essential human right.

...

It's not just about the proverbial 'marketplace of ideas,' it's about allowing information, independent of idea or argument, to flow freely so that we can hope to know the world as it really is. This means seeing value in expression even when it appears to be wrongheaded or even useless.

This process has been aided by new technologies that have made communication easier, from the printing press, to the telegraph and radio, to phones and the internet: each one has accelerated the development of new knowledge by making it easier to share information.

But AI offers even greater liberating potential, empowered by First Amendment principles including freedom to code, academic freedom, and freedom of inquiry. We are on the threshold of a revolution in the creation and discovery of knowledge.

AI's potential is humbling, indeed, even frightening. But as the history of the printing press shows, attempts to put the genie back in the bottle will fail. Despite the profound disruption the printing press caused in Europe in the short-term, the long-term contribution to art, science, and again, knowledge, was without equal.

Yes, we may have some fears about the proliferation of AI. But what those of us who care about civil liberties fear more is a government monopoly on advanced AI, or, more likely, regulatory capture and a government-empowered oligopoly that privileges a handful of existing players.

The end result of pushing too hard on AI regulation will be the concentration of AI influence in an even smaller number of hands.

Far from reining in government misuse of AI to censor, we will have created the framework not only to censor, but also to dominate and distort the production of knowledge itself."

@PamelaHensley22 Didn’t he just set up his ex-gov security benefits ? I don’t think his family bodyguards will like this idea. $50 Gav gets luigied.

WATCH: “You can draw a straight line from the talking points back to Beijing, because they want to win the war on AI.”

@Mitch_Roschelle warns that anti-data-center rhetoric is helping China in the global AI race.

@AIScottAdams Question: If AI Scott can move his face while making this video, why not during the daily podcasts?

🔥 This is how you win the argument on data centers.

As @Budowich writes: listen to communities, address concerns head-on, then make opponents EXPLAIN why towns like Ellendale, ND shouldn’t get the chance to revive Main Street, rebuild infrastructure and bring in new revenue.

Solomon: A CIA senior agent with thirty years of experience CONFIRMS:

“An intelligence agent, now retired, very senior. He looked me in the eye and said, the truth of the matter is, we took the playbook for psychological operations and information warfare that we would use against our enemies, and we turned it against the American people to undo the 2016 election and to make sure they didn't elect Donald Trump in 2020.”

“Not only harmed Donald Trump, they were harming the American public, the national security interests of the American public”

We need what happened in 2020 fully investigated, all the bad actors arrested & it needs to be on full display for the American People.

The Sacramento machine just hiked the highest gas tax in America to 63.4¢ a gallon while lecturing us about “affordability” — and their Cap-and-Trade energy tax is pure gouging. 

As governor I’ll cut that tax, dismantle the climate bureaucracy, and deliver $3 gas. 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
