| The Executive Order [1] is clearly more focused on the former. Some of the things they mention (I haven't read it all): * creating chemical/biological/nuclear weapons * biohazards * outputs that could threaten to critical infrastructure (e.g. energy infrastructure) * threats to national security * cyberattacks, e.g. automatic discovery of vulnerabilities/exploits * software that would "influence real or virtual events" (I'm guessing they mean elections?) * social engineering * generating fake news / propaganda * generating child porn or deep fakes Note that it's not banning these, but asking US government departments as well as private companies, AI experts, academia, for their inputs on what regulations could/should be. In that sense, this Mozilla letter is a response to the EO. Also, there's no mention of the use of certain pronouns, nor of an AI-caused apocalypse (not even a mention of paperclips!).
