Computer science professor becomes latest expert to voice concerns over rapid rollout of large language models Tweets: @superwuster , @adamkovac , @aidangomezzz , and @alondra Tweets: Tim Wu / @superwuster : I'm hardly a regulation skeptic. But I do worry that the badly-done regulation of AI will serve to insulate Google and Microsoft from challengers, and prevent the development of an ecosystem that rebalances power in the tech industries. Adam Kovacevich / @adamkovac : This is why I was kinda surprised to see Big Tech critics like Blumenthal, Graham endorse AI licensing, which would benefit incumbents at the expense of challengers https://twitter.com/...

Not a figurative doomsday cult, a literal “omnipotent entity is coming, it will annihilate us all” doomsday cult.
