Cats out of the bag. It's not ChatGPT running on OpenAI's server under their control. Tens of thousands of random individuals are making, training, and using their own ML systems and datasets. I see it all the time on HN. The technology is known.

I am as concerned as him, but I'm unsure if I'm against regulation of serious and widespread use of propaganda AI that could affect citizens doing small time things. What are we going to nation states besides more sanctions? Are there any other options?
