Scobleizer: AI is a new kind of fire — panic-driven rules will only produce bad regulation
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-21
- Tech commentator Robert Scoble argues AI is like a newly invented form of fire: regulating the fire itself is foolish even though it has burned down cities.
- He calls for precise rules, like bans on falsely yelling "fire" in a theater, instead of panic-driven "stupid regulation" that blocks AI's benefits.
- He cites the viral tear-jerking Neuralink video as an AI product and urges calmer public thinking.
