alt Hacker NewsAI may cause harm in the same way a screwdriver can cause harm, if someone stabs himself in the eye with it.
The AI _corporations_ must be regulated, not the technology itself. But that's not what they're advocating for. Big techs are trying to get a ban on general purpose computing so everyone has to pay them a tax to do anything related to computers. Imagine needing a license (edit: i.e. a special govt permission) to run a local model at home.

a screwdriver doesn't erroneously tell you there are nuclear missiles somewhere
It’s more like a chainsaw I think, in that if you hold it the wrong way it can cause serious irreparable harm… except with AI there’s a whole load of different, conflicting advice on how to hold it.
