I PREDICT MAJOR COMPANIES ARE GOING TO START ADVOCATING FOR AI REGULATION IMMEDIATELY.

I predict major companies are going to start advocating for AI regulation immediately. Have you seen the AI merging of video games? Someone released a software on GitHub that reportedly reverse engineers games and puts them together in whatever way you want. I mean, we're talking Minecraft in GTA 6. You can build in GTA 6 like Minecraft, Mario and Dark Souls, Call of Duty and Skate 3, Batman and Spider-Man. I saw recently someone had apparently jailbroken the PlayStation 5 to where now they can play any game they want on the PlayStation library. And they also found out that the PlayStation 5, the physical console, can actually play old PlayStation 2, 3, 1 games if you give it the discs after it's jailbroken. I've even seen people reverse engineering entire platforms and softwares. Apple TV, Plex, Google Docs, all of the Adobe softwares. This is where the ethics and the conversation around AI becomes quite grey. Because as a whole, AI is stealing people's work non consensually as training material to further its system. And the private companies that are building it are profiting off of this, while the people whose work was stolen make nothing off of it. And now after all of these companies forced AI on to everyone with chat bots and garbage that no one asked for, people are turning around and releasing all of their systems and softwares for free to the public. On one hand, this is very detrimental to the indie developer, the small business owner who's trying to build a startup. But on the other, this is also open sourcing significant platforms and softwares that major greedy corporations have withheld from the public. I believe it was Gabe Newell who said piracy is not a pricing problem, it's a service problem, which I semi agree with because I do still think there is a ceiling to pricing before people pirate stuff. But companies can't pay wall things, region lock things, or just straight up take content away that people paid for and expect them not to reverse engineer and democratize or open source the content in the way that they're doing now. Surprise surprise, the companies are being greedy and taking too much and expecting more from the public. Pound for pound, I don't know if this is a good idea or not yet. From the angle of accessibility and taking back from these greedy corporations, I think it is. But what happens when larger institutions start implementing similar systems to manage our data or anything in regards to a mass scale, national or global? The last thing I'll say on this is this is a big spectacle and has the potential to do some good on the sort of social political side. But AI is still not profitable and has continuously shown that it cannot produce anything on its own as a general good for society. It can only be used as a tool for finding and merging things.
