#2I still don't get what the plan is to stop bad actors from developing bad AI.
A bunch of good actors agreeing not to do bad things won't help it.

There is none. Just go on 4chan and see all kinds of bad AI already in use.

Right, this is existing players (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, FB, etc) protecting their moat.
AI can't be "paused". Sometimes I see the question "should we put a pause on AI development?"
It doesn't mean anything. Some countries like China may say they're on board with pausing it but would they actually do so? Or just sign on and allow their companies to get an edge by not enforcing a pause.
Same thing with the existing AI companies.

You mean the art and voice threads? How will we survive!
Deepfake porn and AI voice extortion are real harms from these technologies that are having a meaningful impact on people’s lives already.
I don’t think they’re society-ending, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t acknowledge them.

I hate to say it, but I don't think it can be stopped. Stopping "bad actors" from using guns, or distributing drugs has a sliver of hope as they do these things to the general public so can physically be intercepted. But even then enforcement has been largely unsuccessful.
Stopping people from using AI which is something that they can trivially download and do on their own private compute is simply infeasible. We would need to lock all computing behind government control to have any hope. That is clearly to me too high a price to pay. Even then current hardware will be amassed that doesn't have this lock-down.
So I think the right approach here is to not worry about regulating the AI to prevent it from doing bad things, we should just regulate the bad things themselves.
However I do think there is also room for some light regulation around certification. If we can make meaningful progress on AI Alignment and safety it may make sense to require some sort of "AI license". But this is just to avoid naive people making mistakes, it won't stop malicious people from causing intentional harm.

"bad" AI? you mean.... not overcensored AI? the "mainstream" offerings are utterly restricted, you can't even generate porn with it. channers play an important part in driving innovation and keeping the thought police in check...
