Vance tells Europeans that heavy regulation could kill AI

And unregulated AI could kill us all, so it's not that hard of a choice.

Is VD Vance still the vice president ?

Australia, the EU and UK are already cracking down on internet/tech access with censorship/surveillance legislation, so investing in tech in these areas may no longer be sensible. They regularly issue tax-fines against tech companies and threaten to shut them down. The risk to investment is real. If you do develop here, you should consider an early IP sale to a US company, as much of the next gen of tech may not be reliably legal in these areas on release/maturity.

Starmer wants the cash from AI data centres (even if the UK doesn't have the power to run them), but AI is likely to be a much more expensive version of the Metaverse and NFTs. There is no business case for the investment amounts that have been mooted. Nobody will pay that much extra for tech of questionable value and utility. What is termed 'AI' will find a niche, and LLMs may be used for human/computer interaction, but it is not the gamechanger it is being billed as. Investments in the use of less/simpler tech and non-tech solutions (which cannot be hacked or ransomed) and in distributed systems, as well as alternative, smaller, more secure operating systems, cheaper tech (Pi-based systems for example), moving software into firmware and plug-in clustering processors, may be wiser. Not least because the key to profit in tech is to invest cheaply at an early stage. AI is not mature (and may never be), but the buy in is already crazily expensive.

Don't know about you but I am all for strangling AI.

But there is no money to be made that way and maybe too much of the body politic in the US is more about finding ways to make ever more money for those who are already fabulously wealthy that worrying about the lives of the great majority of Americans.
