These companies are in bed with the government, you're not going to be saved by any legislation. Many people on this site supported Google censoring the Covid anti-vax idiots, but it should have made it very clear that Google was working at the behest of the government. They're in bed together; the government gets to do an end-run around the constitution, and Google gets to rely on special government privileges and protection. Win-win.

> It will IMO also be quite difficult to combine stackless coroutines with this approach

Maybe there will be unforeseen problems, but they have promised to provide stackless coroutines; since it's needed for the WASM target, which they're committed to supporting.

> Combined with the dynamic dispatch

Dynamic dispatch will only be used if your program employs more than one IO implementation. For the common case where you're only using a single implementation for your IO, dynamic dispatch will be replaced with direct calls.

> It's quite courageous calling this approach "without any compromise" when it has not been tried in the wild yet.

You're right. Although it seems quite close to what "Jai" is purportedly having success with (granted with an implicit IO context, rather than an explicitly passed one). But it's arguable if you can count that as being in the wild either...

This kind of shallow dismissal is really unhelpful to those of us trying to follow the argument. You take a tone of authoritative expert, without giving any illuminating information to help outsiders judge the merit of your assertion. Why is it a very bad reading of the current situation? What is a better reading?

> [examples of supposed problems]

None of those have anything to do with LLMs which was the issue stated in your original post.

> A human can read them and use them for inspiration, is that what a model does?

Yes.

> As a concrete example, LLMs and how they relate to copyright and image rights.

Why the heck is any new law needed at all for copyright? The only accusation is that LLMs did not respect current copyright laws, not that the current copyright law is insufficient. Specifically, there was a commonly used corpus of pirated copyright material (books3) that was used to train many LLMS. Its hosting was withdrawn when challenged by copyright holders. That's the system working as intended.

> Neurosurgeons in the Netherlands disagree with this

Neurosurgeons have a very skewed view of the statistical likelihood of head injury. They see such injuries every day, and it can most definitely make them believe that the risks involved are much greater than they actually are.
