The problem is controlling the AIs.  LLM AIs have exhibited unexpected
behavior.  And while you can threaten people, the same cannot be said
for AIs.  High-level CCP members looked at AI and said (correctly)
"These things are dangerous to our way of life" and put the kibosh on
AI work in China.

The same might be the case here.  We might have laws against AI in a
couple of years, but that's an eon in AI progress time.  All I can say
is cinch up your seat belt, we are in for a wild ride.
