Yes, I agree. There will always be some evil person out there using AI to try to achieve evil goals. Scammers, terrorists, hackers. All the people who use computers now to do bad things, they're going to try to do even worse bad things with AI. We need to stop those people by improving our security.

Like fixing the phone number system already. There must be some way to stop robo scam calls. Validate everyone making a call and stop phone spam. That would do a lot more to help AI safety than randomly slowing down the top companies.

Yeah, it’s an awful role basically by design. It reminds me of my uncle’s role as the safety/compliance lead at a manufacturing facility. He was just trying to do his job but constantly getting bullied, maneuvered around etc because his job was effectively to slow everyone else down. It drove him crazy, he ended up having a mental breakdown, becoming an alcoholic, and having to go on disability for the remainder of his career. I’m sure some people can handle the stress of those roles, but ugh, not worth it IMO.
