[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

If you invent a novel drug, you need the government to vet and approve it (FDA) before you can commercialize it.

If you invent a new mode of air travel, you need the government to vet and approve it (FAA) before you can commercialize it.

If you create a new security, you need the government to vet and approve it (SEC) before you can commercialize it.

More generally, when you create things with broad societal impact (positive and negative) the government creates a layer of review and approval.

AI will need such an oversight body. The FDA approval process seems the most credible and adaptable into a framework to understand how a model behaves AND its counterfactual.

Our political leaders need to get in front of this sooner rather than later and create some oversight before the eventual/big/avoidable mistakes happen and genies are let out of the bottle.

As theocrats in robes, appointed by presidents who lost their elections, make ready to impose forced birth on half of America, it's time to worry that police in thrall to "the party of small government" will spy on, hunt down, and punish people who get abortions (or miscarry). 1/
