Jeni Tennison speaks wise regulatory heresy… but still somehow comes out trying to control the uncontrollable

This starts out well but turns into an appeal for “industry” to form do-gooding (e.g. AI) safety institutes, as-if the problem with software is that there are industries with capabilities.

Of course such exist – for the moment – but when in 25 years every individual will be carrying enough compute capability to essay thousands of tokens per second from open-source code and models… the committees will all be a bit moot.

According to this @FT piece, @michelledonelan thinks tech companies are “uneasy with marking their own homework”. Aren’t we all. But that doesn’t mean the UK has to do it to their design: that’s called regulatory capture.
