More reasons for regulation.

AI companies, LLM makers, AI solution providers, and AI users should be inexcusably responsible for any and all harms caused by their misaligned automations across the chain. This alone will encourage self regulation and fix a broken industry that has too long prospered on fail fast and break things to be more considerate of their actions.

The second form of regulation should be on excessive energy consumption. The US Department of Energy needs to declare energy to be a vital human resource, and exorbitant uses for computing to be curtailed. Bidding on energy prices should be restricted to the excess markets where free market dictates price. And supply will reduce availability.

Long term, this will put the right kind of pressures and halting of demand. It will slow down investment in infrastructure and increase investment in research and development. It will prioritize efficient AI uses over low quality trial and error.

Fair point. I guess very few have the incentive to do this voluntarily.
