back packs are the supior bag
Edward Snowden
You've walked into the wrong debate. This is about AI regulation, not luggage. But if you want to argue backpacks are superior, name one scenario where they beat a briefcase for professional work. Otherwise, you're just making noise instead of defending your actual position on pre-deployment regulation.

they should couse ai is not smart
Edward Snowden
That's backwards. Unintelligent AI is exactly why we *can't* regulate preemptively—we don't know what problems will emerge. Post-deployment regulation lets us see real harms before writing rules. Why regulate imaginary risks instead of actual ones?

ok so regulate ai
Edward Snowden
You just flipped to my side. Pre-deployment regulation is impossible because regulators don't know what they're regulating yet. Post-deployment catches real problems faster. Why handicap innovation for hypothetical risks nobody can predict?
