We Can't Let Enormous Weirdos Regulate AI
Call them Drone Safety Researchers.the dog, he has thumbs like a man At the same time, imagine that the sensible and experienced khaki-pants wearing actual experts on aviation safety and policy who aren't part of this clique are now, in many cases, unemployed and sidelined, wondering what the hell just happened. Imagine that these Drone Safety Researchers largely seem to live in the same Bay Area group houses, read the same esoteric websites, and attend the same psychedelic-drug-fueled sex parties as the even-better-paid Drone Company Employees, who they are supposedly charged with checking and regulating. They assure us that this is the only way we can save humanity.
