"The legislation would permanently prohibit artificial superintelligence, which it defines as a system that exceeds human cognitive ability or has sufficient capabilities to plan and execute the destruction or disempowerment of humanity."

Wow huge miss by Bernie. I mean in many areas models from a year ago were above and beyond most human's cognivity, or at least in rote memorization of a wide variety of facts.

Not to mention, he says ban, but realistically it means to take away from regular people and the government and corporations with licenses keep using it.

I really do feel like this is going the way of the Second Amendment. I wonder if there is grounds to have a right to use AI as a defensive means.


I think this will be very helpful for society, and people will have the guidance after this on how to use the AI and all.
