Sigh, and what guardrails are common sense? Are those the same level of common sense as those advocated for guns ( and narrowed down at every possible opportunity )? Some of us see this tech as possibly revolutionary and thanks to useful individuals calling for muzzling that tech we now have the worst of both worlds: centrally controlled, not really open ( weights are just weights -- though Meta actually deserves some credit here ), and heavily muzzled.

Clearly, powers that be learned all too well from internet rollout.

>sigh,

I stopped reading. No point in engaging this if that’s how you’re kicking things off.

"Sigh" is indeed a thought-terminating cliche. So is "Common sense."

“Sigh” is “I don’t respect you and will now talk down to you.”

“Common sense” at least invites the question, “what do you consider common sense solutions?” and if I were to balk at that then clearly I’m not discussing the topic in good faith.

But it's just argument bait, isn't it? What are the odds that the guardrails you consider common sense will agree with my own?

It's like how 90% of people might be in favor of "common sense gun control," but when you drill down and propose specific gun-control measures, you find that it didn't help a bit to start the conversation by invoking "common sense." We're seeing the same with AI.

It’s not “argument bait.” I’m making a point and people can discuss it with me or not.
