Being wrong when you are building a grocery management app is one thing, being wrong when building a bridge is another.

For those sensitive use cases, it is imperative we create regulation, like every other technology that came before it, to minimize the inherent risks.

In an unrelated example, I saw someone saying recently they don't like a new version of an LLM because it no longer has "cool" conversations with them, so take that as you will from a psychological perspective.



I have a hard time taking that kind of worry seriously. In ten years, how many bridges will have collapsed because of LLMs? How many people will have died? Meanwhile, how many will have died from fentanyl or cars or air pollution or smoking. Why do people care so much about the hypothetical bad effects from new technology and so little about the things we already know are harmful
