We technically know how to be a responsible adult (civilization)
I don't think our government institutions are able to address the speed at which things are developing. Everyone wants to regulate AI, but what does that even look like?
Does Bob Bobson R-WY (age 83) chair of the Senate Committee for Emerging Technologies know? Does he have the capacity to know? Don't fuck it up, Bob or we all die. It's not Senator Bob's fault, he exists inside a governmental organization that prioritizes wisdom and seniority (I mean, took at Senator John Johnson, pro tempore (age 102) ).
but we can't help partying, fighting and drunk driving etc.
Primate brains. It all feeds back into itself as this destructive cycle.
When you go to a bar, the bouncer checks your ID and determines your age. He will not remember your name. He will not inform the government you are at the bar. He will not write down who you met with or talked to. We as a society trust he will not do these things. You are still anonymous from the perspective of the bouncer.
If humans really truely tried I am sure we could design a transparent system for verifying age or human-ness that we (tech paranoid Lemmings) could trust, but it doesn't seem like governments even want to try. They just want to track people.
AI engagement will be the death of the internet and democracy if we cannot stop it. We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology.

The bill creates a new H-2C nonimmigrant visa, available to employers who prove their positions have gone unfilled for three consecutive months and in areas where the unemployment rate is 7.9% or less.
Wasn't this a pain point with H-1Bs? They want things to cost less but don't want to bring in cheap foreign labour to depress wages? How do they not understand supply and demand? "Go be a plumber, they make good money" "Wow, this quote I got from that plumber is so high" "Me be a plumber? No way"
TBH they want the the DOJ to "investigate" which is softer language. I want the DOJ to formally charge (indict) Epstein's pedophilic clients and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
He was wearing his Marine camouflage and carrying a lawfully owned 9mm Glock handgun on his right hip, as he does every day, he told The Intercept. Agents on the scene “thought I was undercover,” Saari said. “They kept asking what agency I was with.”
When Saari told them he was not with any agency, their demeanor shifted. Federal immigration agents soon aimed M4-style rifles at his head
(1) Its almost like its important to be able to clearly identify law enforcement.
(2) Seems like the opposite of de-escalation. The thing law enforcement is supposed to do.
