100% agreed. To your question, I think unfortunate reality is people usually learn from pain. We burn our ourselves and learn to stop playing with fire.
It took two world wars and the fear of atomic weapons to establish the global cooperation we have now.
It took 9/11 for intelligence services to get over themselves and start sharing information.
It took a financial crisis to realize packaging subprime mortgages into tranches doesn’t suddenly make them AAA credits.
Maybe it will take some hackers doing something that seems improbable to have a framework for regulating the development and distribution of AI.
I’m sure there are cases where people saw calamity coming and circumvented it. When there is the perception of big money and winner takes all dynamics on the line, I wouldn’t bet on people motivated by power and money to do the “right” thing.
So I’d say fasten your seatbelt and be ready for whatever.
