Hm, I can agree with your take as well on not calling this out but at the same time, I can't help but think if this is all we can do ourselves without govt.

Since, Although I like people criticisizing, since in their own way, they care about the project or the idea. But, still, Maybe I am speaking from personal experiences but when somebody shot down my idea, maybe naive even, I felt really lost and I think a lot of people do. I have personally found that there are ways to use this same thing to steer the direction towards a thing that you might find interesting/really impactful. So let me ask you, what do you think is that we can do regarding this situation, or the OP should do regarding his license?

I personally feel like we might need govt. intervention but I don't have much faith in govt.'s when they are lobbied by the same AI people. So if you have any other solution, please let me know as it would be a pleasure if we could discuss about that.

If you feel like that there might be nothing that we can do about it, something that I can also understand, I would personally suggest to not criticize people trying to do something but that's a big If, and I know you are doing this conversation in good faith, but I just feel like we as a human should keep on trying. Since that is the thing which makes us the very human we are.

So think about why it was naive and iterate/pivot to not be naive. Having ideas shot down is part of the process. Just like an actor being told no for more often than yes. Those that can't take rejection don't fare well. But being told no isn't a person slight to be taken as don't ever offer suggestions again. It's just that suggestion isn't the one. If you work for someone that does mean never again, work some where else as soon as possible. Some ideas are just bad for the purpose. Some just need more work.
Just to say I appreciate all the criticism, it's good food for thought
