Grady Booch mocks AI self-regulation: like trusting Thanos to behave

Software engineering legend Grady Booch quote-tweeted US Senator Rick Scott's remarks on AI oversight. Scott argued that government isn't smart enough to regulate AI and companies must "do the right thing on their own"; Booch sarcastically compared this to trusting Marvel's Thanos to self-regulate, warning against leaving humanity's fate to powerful actors' goodwill.
