    Deeper you get into the American right-wing more likely you are of being a communist the moment you evoke regulations not to mention social justice. President Biden can sign all he wants to try to guarantee a healthy development of AI I just don’t believe it’ll change anything to the fast ‘n’ furious odyssey of AI which is bound IMO to carry at least as much harmful side-effects than true progress, at least in the short to medium term.
