Still crazy people get the same charge for driving around with some plants...
There's a lot of shit we need to fix, but our justice system is a big one.
20 years should be the plea deal if they fess up and snitch on everyone else, not the max were seeking. The damage a wealthy person can do is astronomical. So we need to start sentencing them appropriately.
Life should be the minimum were seeking, even just causing power loss where they build a data center has killed people already. Wanton reckless endangerment resulting in death is a big deal even if you're a billionaire, I'd say it's a bigger deal because a billionaire has zero financial stress.
They can literally afford to take time and be careful, if they don't then fuck em
If the US would fix its tax system, such that the wealthy paid 90% after a certain amount again (as they did under Eisenhower) without all these loopholes, the wealthy wouldn't be so dangerous.
They could easily be rendered toothless before even worrying about how much time they deserve behind bars (which is still a lot).

Sad to see Bernie buy in to the AI hype. LLMs are not intelligent, they aren't anything approximating intelligent, and feeding them more data will never make them "wake up."
He’s 100 years old.
I can't say whether he has bought in or not, but this could be useful toward the end of curtailing some of the most damaging economic ambitions, so long as it is applied across the board without "trusted established players" somehow being given a pass.
So it could him buying it at face value, and frankly who can blame him. Trying to discern reality from hype is tricky in this scenario, especially for a politician.
However whether the scenario is substantitve or simply everyone is spending and building and planning as if it were substantive, his reaction is equally useful, as slowing our roll is important in either case.
His style of 'buy-in' wouldn't be as risky as the more pro-AI buy-in, like Trump.

TIL: There are lot of senile old man in power in US, starting from President, ... what's next? Death sentence for coal mine workers?
This is stupid. He should instead deal with the stealing of works to feed the AI.
"They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
I would label the "they" as human beings, rather than this country or that.
He knows it has a snowball's chance. He's just using his platform to call attention to a potentially serious problem in a way that grabs headlines. He has to shout pretty loudly to get anyone's attention nowadays.
Note that even if the ASI problem isn't realistically a threat, either way the AI companies are absolutely a serious problem, not merely potentially. For most folks, half their retirement is at this point at the whims of a handful of AI tech bros. Putting aside all arguments about ASI, that alone is something worthy of putting some control over them.

Oof. At least it's more specific than some silly "slowdown"
Would be really hard to define and subject to abuse though.
Such law need to clearly define what development towards ASI actually entails. An easy workaround is to just play along with the narrative that LLM is a hopeless dead end and can’t possibly bring us closer to ASI.
