the U.S., Jennifer DeStefano, an Arizona mother, testified
at a Senate hearing this week about her harrowing

the fake kidnappers demanded a $50,000 ransom before she
got in touch with her daughter, who was in fact safe and

shake that voice and the desperate cries for help out of

child pleading with fear and pain, knowing that they’re
being harmed and that you’re helpless. The longer this
form of terror remains unpunishable, the farther and more
egregious it will become. There is no limit to the depth
of evil AI can enable.”</span></p>

<p>I think it will require some deep re-factoring of many things
ranging from government regulations and enforcement to social
norms and expectations. I fear this will require some kind of
collapse or revolution and renewal from the ashes. <br>
</p>
<p>This is not a reason not to consider deeply what these
rules/regulations/etc might be... if anyone here knows of serious
efforts one or two orders-of-magnitude/levels-of-indirection away
from "the usual" I'd be interested... this qualifies as
"wycked-hard" problem. I think there has been precedent for this
level of refactoring but I think there were things like World Wars
that accompanied that magnitude (and quality) of change.<br>
