> Regulation will follow.

I would hope so, but it won't happen as long as the billionaire AI bros keep on paying politicians for favorable treatment.

The word is "bribing", and the current (bribable) administration won't be around forever (hopefully).

At the very least, the EU will regulate, and most other countries will copy. At that point the US will either need to regulate or watch it's software exports go to zero, with consequent impacts on their stock markets.

I've been saying this for a while, but within a generation, software will be as regulated as finance.
