    According to Ayn Rand, the favorite philosopher of the techbros, any regulation - including the most sensible ones - are made by mean and jealous people wanting to see kind and successful people fail.

    Ayn Rand is just a bolshevik inverted, but this aside, maintaining responsibility of a person for what they do with a new tool is not regulation.

    No, cause you see. Governments are violence and violence can only be used against direct violence (ie. shooting someone who shoots someone). Since this is social violence, that means that governments can't do anything. If you don't want unaccountable robot-run companies, you gotta bootstrap yourself to the highest echelon of society and stop it by being more efficient and profitable than them! /s

    Gods, I hate how much I fell for that shit as a teenager

    I still fall for "that shit" if you mean libertarianism and not Ayn Rand (of that author I have the same opinion I had when first reading her book, it's hongweibing levels of intelligence).

    Libertarianism is very strictly based on personal responsibility for one's decisions. And someone playing with a "young nuclear physicist" set near others is being pretty much violent even when no accidents happen. Combining these two, it's pretty direct violence.

    That's not allowing even for a moment the thought that a person who turned on a machine that made an effect on the world loses one bit of responsibility for that effect because they used a machine.
