    The famous "guns don't kill people, people kill people" then.

    Fun fact, it's easier to treat the underlying cause if you also ease the symptoms. And when the cause is not immediately treatable, refusing to soothe the symptoms is the height of idiocy.

    Fun fact, the AI models will continue to be developed for the same reason the US gun problem has never been solved despite the solution being obvious. When

    What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

    The reality of the situation is that there is an absolutely insane amount of money being poured into ensuring this tech will continue to be developed. The investors and the companies developing it do not care about public opinion in the slightest. So, as actual empirical research shows, your approach cannot work. But since you're in a cult you're unable to understand that.

    Meanwhile, these companies are literally telling us what they're actually afraid of which is open models.
