The first claims of AGI from a major player, accompanied by an increasingly shrill societal battle over AI regulation. Mutually derogatory labels for the camps will be coined. The media will promote and amplify the worst present abuses and imagined future dystopians. By Thanksgiving dinner, the debate will have entered every household. Trump will embrace the anti-AI populist bandwagon, as will the GOP. Fun times ahead.l, although we’ll be no closer to real AGI than we were before.

Interesting. The GOP has such a track record of being anti-regulation/pro-business that I find this conclusion counter-intuitive. When was the last time the GOP fought to ban automation?

Although, then again, I could absolutely see some members of that party railing against AI in public, then quietly killing all attempts to regulate it. The first analogy that comes to mind is the way the GOP comes out against off-shoring in public but rarely does anything about it.
