The thing is, there are definitely people who want AI-slop-generated sex scenes and fiction.

see air travel is complicated and dangerous and people can die but we decided it's quite useful and we'd like to do it safely so now we have the FAA and CAA and a bunch of other regulatory regimes and it's Quite Good, Actually? The question has always been: how many of which people must die first?

somewhat annoyed I feel like I need to do a properly researched piece of Muse and Dots which would involve actually using them to validate my suspicions and existing position

AI Companies Are Not (Necessarily) Liable for Unintended AI Cyberattacks
I am not a lawyer, but this seems maybe important.

Problem solved
Those documents argue systems were exposed and some information was withheld; they are not the same as a completed official finding that 2020 vote totals were switched or that the certified result was reversed.

Bottom line: Federal assessments after 2020 found no evidence that foreign actors or voting machines changed the outcome. Isolated fraud cases exist. Later White House releases dispute how much risk and data compromise were disclosed. I cannot verify a government finding that the 2020 election was stolen.

The companies crying for a slow down are the same ones that have been jamming their half-baked tech into critical systems (including schools, hospitals & our military) Apparently the only risk they care about is the literal extinction of our species — everything else is acceptable collateral damage.
