Title text: This is how you all fucking sound
[A smug tech bro wearing a sideways cap, watch, chain around his neck stands in front of a data center by a lake with dead fish. A smoke stack blows pollution into the air]
Tech bro: AI is already here, there’s no going back.
[A smug man in a suit with cigarette in hand stands in a restaurant while two disgruntled diners cough from the smoke]
Suit: Smoking indoors is already here, there’s no going back.
[A smug man in a top hat and suit stands in a factory with two sad and dirty children]
Hat: Child labor is already here, there’s no going back.
[A smug plantation owner stands in front of a field with with two angry slaves]
Plantation owner: The Atlantic Slave trade is already here, there’s no going back.
Yes you can. You write a bill saying AI data centers are banned. That’s it. That’s the bill.
About as effective as writing a bill saying war is banned.
Ah yeah, that’ll stop China. Or the UK. Or India, or whatever other country wants a piece of the pie.
Pushing back isn’t like trying to ban child labour, it’s like trying to ban factories.

Legit, I do not care if China has the monopoly.
Cool. But it still means that AI will be out there and being used.
No one can stop me from using chat IRC—no one!
