Comment by Yann LeCun

Well, my first reaction to this is that calling for a delay in research and development smacks me of a new wave of obscurantism, essentially, like why slow down the progress of knowledge and science? Then there is the question of products, like, you know, I'm all for regulating products that get in the hands of people. I don't see the point of regulating research and development. I don't think this serves any purpose other than reducing the knowledge that we could use to actually make, you know, technology better, safer also.
