Fuck AI

Well, yeah, that's what I'm talking about here, specifically. There was an application of technology that bypassed regulations put in place to manage a previous iteration of that technology and there was a period of lawlessness that then needed new regulation. The solutions were different in different places. Some banned the practice, some equated it with employees, some with contractors, some made custom legislation.

But ultimately the new framework needed regulation just like the old framework did. The fiction that the old version was inherently more protected is an illusion created by the fact that we were born after common sense guardrails were built for that version of things.

AI is the same. It changes some things, we're gonna need new tools to deal with the things it changes. Not because it's worse, but because it's the same thing in a new wrapper.
