I have been watching the Sora reveal and it was quite terrifying.
But if you think about it, these are just the kind of tools that will be used in the near future (wether we like it or not).
And worse, they will be provided at a global scale. Meaning that even if you yourself don't provide the services in your countries, you will experience the jobs decrease anyway.
Currently almost all the big ai champions are in the USA: open ai (chatgpt3, dall-e, sora), google (Gemini), Amazon (llama2), + chip producers like Nvidia, AMD, Intel.
China follows with local tech giants making their own LLM like bytedance (TikTok creator), Alibaba, tencent, Baidu (this one has the most nature model: Ernie)
Europe, once a technological powerhouse seems to have fallen terribly behind: there is Qualcomm in England and asml in the Netherlands (neither of which do software), and big void when it comes developing its own AI.
And since this appears to be technology that will heavily influence other industries, it seems foolish to push the breaks on it when you are already lagging behind so much.
The issue of AI safety is valid, but pointless if it's not a global effort in my point of view, as you are limiting yourself in creating tools that will just be created by someone else living in a region with fewer restrictions, but that will afterwards be used where you reside as well.
