   Once “AI” ceases to be impressive, maybe then people will start making something actually useful out of it.

   I'm reminded of the video game crash of 1983. Everybody and their brother was in a rush to make something, anything, as long as it could conceivably be called a video game, to cash in on the hype. The resulting tsunami of s--t caused a market crash, the grifters scattered, and only *then* did truly good video games start to emerge.

     I want to highlight: "somehow escaping liability for these harms."

     A core problem I see with Western worldviews: shielding from liability. Western Property being exclusivity without responsibility, Limited Liability corporations, etc.

     Private benefits are inheritable, liabilities are limited. This breeds a culture and unstable economy based on irresponsibility.

     Not even paying close to true *costs* of *energy* they consume.

     This is basically the thesis of @pluralistic here: https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/
