@bms48 @jawarajabbi @pluralistic My suspicion is that AI companies will attempt to lobby for reduced compliance requirements with software built using AI, but I'd expect some pushback on that from regulators.

@bms48 @jawarajabbi @pluralistic I don't really know if this is likely to stop any time soon, but it looks like a lot of people are engaging in discussing the environmental effects of AI which seems to be having some political impact.

@bms48 @jawarajabbi @pluralistic One thing to take into consideration is that AI is already replacing human tasks since companies have been embedding AI into their organizations for a long time now, so investors extrapolate on these cost savings and buy into the bet that AI will eventually replace significant amounts of organizational work.

@bms48 @jawarajabbi @pluralistic I'd say that this is different because it's not just a marketing gimmick, it's a variable that promises an unknown amount of cost optimization. For people who have spent their lives amassing a fortune, the prospect of losing a significant portion of it (or all of it) becomes an incentive to spend an insignificant amount of that fortune on AI in order to hedge the bet.
