The only AI regulation we need is if an AI hacks into something, the CEO of that AI company goes to prison. The hacks, and the doombragging, will stop.
This is already what will happen if a non-billionaire uses AI to hack a corporate site.

I've been rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004). So glad I bought the DVD set when I did. Watched the season 3 finale last night and OMFG that still hits as probably the best season finale ever made. So many payoffs and surprises. We need more TV like this. #BattlestarGalactica
