People always talk about this or that being "the wild west" (meaning there are no rules or regulations and people can do whatever they like) as though it's a bad thing.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, the Internet was "the wild west". Email was "the wild west". Now, AI is "the wild west". Online gambling is "the wild west". Porn is "the wild west".
Well, guess what? I *like* the wild west! As soon as you start regulating something, as soon as governments and policymakers and lawmakers get their grubby hands on something, it becomes a million times less cool, and a million times less innovative.
