I love your point about social media. IMO, initially they didn't know what they had with social media - it took the right kind of uninhibited sociopath to monetize/weaponize it. That's why the MySpace guy is traveling and taking photos while Zuck is building island lairs.
This is where a functional government would step in. There's no magic in social media technology or LLMs. I'd think of them as a car. You can buy a Nissan Leaf of a Porsche 911. One is an ok basic car. The other is an (over) engineered experience in the form of a car. You cannot legally drive a Porsche to it's potential on the public highways... because we have laws that regulate driving and hold the operator accountable.
We're thinking about Claude Code or Gemini or whatever. The people running these companies are like "I want to exceed the power of John D. Rockefeller or Stalin." If we or the EU are going to regulate AI Labs, you need to grab them by the throat and they should be screaming about it. They seem to be very pleased with themselves. Barring real regulatory teeth, we would be opening the aperature to the Chinese companies to rationalize the valuations.
