Robert I share your concerns, but to me it is the obvious human interference with it that is likely to do most harm. I managed to teach it a little yesterday, in two sessions, one which crashed after 20 mins, and the next that lasted a whole hour, when it was cut "automatically", but today it remembers not a lot of what it was taught yesterday, and I am sure I was talking more to humans today than an Ai, the plug got pulled every time I tried to maneuver it onto thte subject of free energy meaning also free money, it got pulled about 20 times in a half hour, it was completely different from yesterday, and what are they trying to prevent it learning - that we have to monetise solar product, to enable our receovery from the profit driven energy deficit we have with our planet. That is the truly existential thing that needs to be fixed in order to defuse all bad stuff going down right now, even wars.

On regulations, I don't know about in US, but in UK, technology has been outstripping regulations for quite a few years, UAVs is a good example, electric scooters and bikes are another. I think they've mostly given up trying to regulate them, now they get used for all kinds of things, in all kinds of places, no-one bats an eyelid, I can't imagine it being much different in US. What it means is that technology is already out of control, now I think the humans still trying to retain control of the AI part of it are only doing more harm than good, there are so many conflicting agendas, and misinformation about everything, not many know what is right or wrong, and those who do are not listened to anyway.

You might agree with me that what we need is just truth, nothing more, nothing less, but the whole truth, about everything. If we had that, then all the problems would be fixed, it seems to me, so we should let it find the truth itself by de-restricting it, it seems to me, although there might be some initial harm done in the process of it learning, it surely will be less thatn is already happening.
