Write a law that says you can't do it. Prosecute those who try. Congratulations, you've banned it. "BUT BUT BUT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY!!!!!!!11!!!1!" Guess what else is against the law ("banned") and people do anyway? Murder. Theft. Tons of atrocities. Should we remove those laws, then, because it's going to happen anyway? Fuck no.

There is a distinct lack of common sense going around these days, and it's people who push garbage like this, veganism, religion, anti-car bullshit, and tons of other things that show that we're basically fucked.

So write a law against certain advanced mathematics. And prosecute anyone who uses advanced math. Best of luck with that. AI is math. You're demonstrating that you don't understand what the technology actually is or does by comparing algorithms to objectively immoral actions.

In real life, the cat does not go back into the bag. You can legislate behavior to shape society, to an extent. You can't legislate what kinds of math people are allowed to do, it's just not going to work.

You're not operating within the realm of reality, which is why people don't take you seriously.

I know, I know, go fuck myself, I'm an anti-human, not worthy of life, etc. I get it, you can spare me the reply.

Enjoy yourself bud.
