I’m pretty sure Trump’s promise of a $5,000 check beats that.
People won’t believe that AI is going to kill us until it happens. We need a “Hiroshima moment” to concentrate the public’s mind. Maybe a nationwide electric power blackout where everything gets fried and it takes a couple of years to get the power back?

The current admin is calling for this. If the Dems need to be contrarian that would be very foolish. Much of the contrarian stuff is almost as dishonest as the other side. O is heading off the garbage.
One guardrail can be to stop snooping on the public. Dems need to be at the table instead of mind rotting because the GOP is there first.
Nah.
A one weekend interruption of college football does it.
Never miss an opportunity to exploit a crisis - “Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky”
Public policy formed out of a “crisis” is one of the most dangerous and destructive tendencies of modern governance. Thomas Sowell
Not sure AI should be at the top. I think it’s still “the economy, stupid.”
Maybe they should also make it clear it’s not socialism to have a basic working society.
But rural, usually red voting, folks are seeing, hearing, and feeling the effects of AI in their backyards and they don’t like it. Not sure blame will stick to republicans, though.
What would probably be most effective is for all the democrats to be on message, saying the same thing, like republicans have effectively done for so long.
They’d better get on the ball with a clear message or they’ll fall into the voter malaise of, “they’re all bad” and voter turnout will be dismal. It may anyway, because of fear and hindrances newly put in place.
I’ll add that the message could also include, “Quit punching down.”
Blaming the little people for the nation’s problems is just wrong.
These ‘little people’ are your neighbors, whether they’re gay, or poor, have a different religion or race, or what have you.
United we stand, divided we fall, y’all!
Is AI regulation meaningful? Will everyone comply w regulations? How will they be enforced?
Immediately we expect some rogue operator to take their AI to the dark web. Where criminal activity will prevail. How do you stop that? Efforts to shut down the dark web have failed. Why should rogue AI be any different.
We are talking about regulating polite society. I wonder if that is worth the trouble. Better to use AI for better cybersecurity.
There is no rogue operator with the resources and the data centers sufficient enough to build a competent AI but then also small enough to then hide on the dark web. LLMs alone cost billions to build.
SLMs in principle are the same thing for under $2000. The pace is Moore’s law times 7.
No, not everyone will comply with regulations. Not everyone obeys the speed limit either, but that’s hardly an argument not to have any.
Two issues here. One is bad actors using AI for nefarious purposes. The other is AI itself deciding to do something nefarious (see: “Hugging Face”). Two different problems, like need four different solutions.
Do you have a lock on your house? Do you use it? Why? Don’t you live in polite society?
