I tend to agree with the underlying model of human aggregate behavior called “governments”. There’s enough capture and manipulation to make most regulation rather ineffective.
HOWEVER, that’s not evenly distributed—there’s a lot of wasteful or neutral regulation, a bit of negative-value, and a bit of positive. It’s not clear to me that AI regulation will be net-harmful. It’s likely to have the same mix that other regulation has of annoying, useless, and wrong-headed with a few nuggets of actual improvement. By the nature of AI risk, if one of those nuggets lands well, it could be massively positive.
