Do they think the Chinese or Russian military will stop their AI research for the good of humanity?
All major powers and a few less major ones are doubling down and rushing to catch up. The first country that gets advanced AI wins. Forever. Full stop.
It's a race. One where we dare not stumble or stop.
Deregulation is inevitably an industry scam (e.g. the prison industry, the removal of laws regarding media ownership, the removal of glass-Steagall, etc.).
Government's job should be to *protect* capitalism by enforcing fairness (i.e. antitrust laws) and to protect against its excesses (making products like food, medicine and cars more dangerous because it's cheaper, private equity takeovers).
We'd be 10 to 15 years farther along if he'd taken his foundation money and thrown it into AI 2 decades ago. We'd have solved all the solvable problems his foundation has been chipping at piecemeal plus all the other problems for which there are solutions.
In the very narrow sense of "It's been tested for 8000 years or so and people found it was worth continuing to consume." I'd say that the consumers found it a net positive (most of them). Did some of them have bad reactions? Sure. I could say the same of almost any pharmaceutical on the market today, including those prescribed by doctors. Google "Sackler family" and "opioid crisis" for enlightening examples.

It is the deadliest of all poisons, dihydrogen monoxide! Everyone who has taken it either has died or will die. Beware!

A house is most people's largest asset. Boomers and everyone else have depended on the rise in value, not to mention the possibility of rental income from said asset. Are you proposing price controls, or outlawing residential rental? Curious as to what you think the alternatives are?
How about a survey of language requests on hiring sites? That would actually provide useful information.

You can stop right there, actually.
Too bad. Used to be a good company before it got carly-fionaed..

Most of these business geniuses will be replaced by an AI in 5 years and all of them in 10, if not before.
Enjoy your MBA degrees guys. You're headed into a well deserved obscurity.
Just choose your parents wisely, get born in the right zip code, be born healthy, be intelligent, don't have any accidents, try and be a white male, make sure your parents can afford college and have the inclination to send you and make sure your genetics don't incline you to the arts. Save your entire lifetime without fail, put all your money into an index fund. You'll be fine.
Yes, it's just that easy.

Nah, after dealing with us for a while, they'll avoid adding more biological material at any cost.
