I would be on board for this. Regulate use to very select applications, ban commercial use without specific permits.

I have kids, I stay awake at night a lot these days wondering what I'm supposes to tell them when they look up at me and tell me they want to be a doctor, engineer, or lawyer when they grow up. What the fuck do I get them to aspire to when we're hurtiling towards a world where there's nothing to aspire to anymore? How do I convince them to study hard and learn things when there is no economic incentive to do so? What kind of kids are we raising when they exist in a world of infinite dopamine and a personal familiar that grants your every magic wish?
