There should be a death penalty for corporations and this should qualify. How anyone could continue to work for a company after reading this baffles me. Unregulated AI is societal poison.

The fallout from the raid on a battery factory in Georgia is already being felt. There are a number of scenarios but none of them are as good as the status quo circa 10 days ago. US lithium-ion battery production will be affected, and the timing couldn't be worse. #energysky

The fact that tech lobbyists wanted states to be banned from regulating AI means states should immediately investigate why those tech companies think states SHOULD regulate AI and then regulate the hell out of it.
