people’s main problem with Dario is that he’s a weirdo, and yeah, i get that. That’s what i like about him

if you look at the other AI CEOs I think you'll find this property is uncorrelated with likability!

honestly the idea that AI should be free of regulation is ONLY compatible with power hungry billionaires and should be found repulsive by every other human on earth sure, too much regulation, or too early. Yes those are bad things. But i have a hard time convincing myself that Dario is wrong here

I definitely agree with that. Waiting until someone else is in office may be too late, or not change the character of the regulators in ways I care about. The current framing of the risks and possible regulations just doesn't sit well with me, because the patterns it fits look like untenable ones.

My view is basically that the "no regulations" crowd overplayed their hand; they don't like the current regime either even if it's not currently aimed at them. Now there is a much wider Overton window for regulation, e.g. states are passing things today that were anathema a year ago.
