That’s ultimately the question at the heart of the matter.  What will come first, the AI false flag event that will trigger support for government regulation that includes liability protection; or the lawsuits against the AI developers for stealing intellectual property?

How you place your bet will likely determine your investment decision.

On one hand you have the AI frontier groups, developers who have stolen corporate secrets, extracted proprietary intellectual property, engaged in widespread copyright violations and built their AI models with mass unauthorized data collection.  On the other hand, you have massive corporations, individuals and groups who have seen their intellectual property rights infringed by data harvesting to run the models.

The AI developers are requesting “regulation” which includes liability protection for outcomes as a result of users running their models.  The investors into those AI developers also want regulation and liability immunity to protect their investments. This is the group now positioning for government regulation and selling the voices who control that decision (politicians) based on a pitch that includes government control over AI information.  This is the group that will trigger the false flag to generate public support for AI safety.

The ordinary individuals & businesses who have seen their intellectual property stolen by the AI groups, the individuals who have watched their copyright protections violated, the corporations who benefit from increased AI efficiency but also see the downside from publicly exposed trade secrets now being widely available, would be the plaintiff group in a series of predictable lawsuits against the AI developers.

This is the core of the matter.  Control/Immunity or Risk/Lawsuits.  Mike Steger outlines the last two weeks:

Two years ago, I said we would reach an inflection point where the interests of Silicon Valley would conflict with the interests of MAGA.  We are on the cusp of that moment.  Will the Silicon Valley/Leftist-Govt win through regulatory control under the guise of ‘trust and safety’.  Or will the larger population see through the scheme and align with liberty, freedom and the free-market approach.

Place your bets.
