AI 2040 and other similar policy proposals for dystopian AI control are evil. If I had the time machine in Terminator, I would send every one of these people back in time to live in Stalin's Russia, or Mao's China, or Berlin with the Wall and then bring them back after a year cured of their stupidity. Let's just make it clear. As Ramez says, the proposal warns against centralization of AI by proposing radically dangerous authoritarian surveillance powers that are infinitely more dangerous than the fake danger they propose to defend against. We've reached a point where people who spent too much time huffing glue and reading Dune or watching Terminator and thinking it was a documentary are now proposing some of the most dangerous and horrific policies imaginable. They must be stopped from infecting politicians with this kind of logic disease. Their policies cannot be taken seriously unless you have no sense of history, no sense of the actual dangers of history, no sense of what handing draconian powers to governments will do to a society, and frankly, no critical thinking ability or self awareness whatsoever. I don't care that the "authors mean well." Dunning Kruger policies get no pass from me because someone means well.
