to me, a layup sensible AI regulation is "do not allow the AI agent to make phone calls for any reason"
jwherrman.bsky.social John Herrman @jwherrman.bsky.social · 3d
A lot of AI assistants seem to have been built around the assumption that the rest of the world is not actually real nymag.com/intelligence...
I wanted to hear about this weird new phenomenon from the other side. The Colorado plumber laughed and once again hung up the phone. The woman at the karaoke place was more patient but sounded confused: Was I AI? Was I selling AI? Could she speak to a real person? No and no, I said, and yes: I was a cold-calling human being who wanted to hear about her experience getting cold-called by bots. (After failing to book a room with Muse, the customer dispatched another agentic solution for the job and claims to have gotten through.) "Ah," she said. "Okay. We don't like AI calling our restaurant. We hate it." End of call. There is something to this - computers really do work differently now and can be asked to handle tasks that used to require a human touch (or at least a cursor). But in addition to expanding the boundaries of automation, the agent-assisted power users of today are also mowing down soft and unsuspecting targets - websites, interfaces, services, and people who haven't decided how, or if, they want to respond to the replacement of customers, clients, and even friends with agents - with the advantages that come with deploying them first. Once everyone has, as Mark Zuckerberg describes it, an "exceptionally capable personal agent," does anyone?

I'm not as good at ML as Jordon, but I have a lot more experience explaining policy and addressing these kinds of questions; maybe this helps? joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2026/09/ai-w... #intelligenceExplosion #superintelligence

The vast majority of respondents (94pc) said they did not trust the AI tech giants. Only 2pc said they did, and 3pc were not sure.

87pc said they wanted governments to step in and regulate the use of AI, marking an 11pc rise since we asked the same question in July 2023

Aha! I seem to have intuited something that is true.

I wrote this post with a broader thought in mind, that an artificial intelligence is likely to reflect the values of those who build it.
