Well then, we should be moving on to super duper intelligence.

So at least now we know what Coyote will look like after impact with the canyon floor.

Why not? After all, it won't be coming out of their pockets.

I want to agree with you, and appreciate the spin of a 'safety standards committe'.

However, they could make the argument that an agreement to 'slow down' at current prices, means an agreement to keep prices high rather than someone developing an advancement to make it cheaper.

That said, it's completely counter to the trend where they have been making it more and more expensive, and doesn't seem to be interest in more competitive pricing anyway.

We won't have 'our' side under any better control than the other side. Essentially kids playing with landmines, triggering all sorts of unexpected mess while playing with the technology.

I don't even know if you want to consider the likely ones calling the shots 'our' side. For example, a quote from Larry Ellison on AI augmented surveillance:
“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on."

Note the pronoun choices, *their* best behavior (not *our* best behavior) because *we're* constantly recording. Clearly his natural go to language has already set up an 'us versus them' scenario that puts the average citizen on the 'other side' compared to wherever Larry is sitting.

What's worse is that it came up at a time when everything else is hitting economic headwinds. It has become the one shaky pillar vaguely holding up the entire stock market. Hence Trump's panic over the only saving grace of his remaining decent economic indicator being put at risk.

The theory seems to be about the coordination. You can't sue that McDonald's refused to use some better ingredient, but if all the burger joints jointly announced they were all working together to refrain from using that ingredient, then you might have something.

This is precisely why they needed the governmental regulation they asked for, when they 'self-regulate', it can come off as anti-competitive.

Of course, plenty of examples of industries collaborating, they just generally need some spin that has it as a collaboration to improve the industry in some way. So here the pitch could be that they are collaborating to improve safety, and the 'slowing down' is a natural consequence of the improved safety.

The manufacturers of social media content is the public. I'd hate to see how the regulations would affect First Amendment rights. And who we'd get to be the lab rats for testing safety and efficacy.

... there are two wolves.

Drugs and booze are just as dangerous for adults as kids. We assume that for a subset of these, adults have the maturity and judgement to regulate their own use. Not always a valid assumption, but what else are we going to do? Go through another prohibition?

Truth is stranger than fiction.

I saw the story of that burglary on a program about bank jobs. The History Channel, I believe.

Its not known as Leonardo, Leonardo is the defense contractor that has created the system you are describing.

More devious plot: There was this bank robber who figured out a way to tunnel into the vault. Except that the bank had a very sensitive sound activated alarm. Tunneling noises and they've got you. So, he rented a safety deposit box. Where he placed an alarm clock. Couple of times a week, the banks alarm would go off. They'd open the vault and .... nothing. They worked to debug the alarm system and found no faults. So they shut off the sound sensors.

Then, he tunneled in.

AI incorrectly raises the alarm about contraband shipment enough times and people will write it off as another hallucination bug. Once the trust in the system has dropped to zero, the contraband shipments may commence.
