This is spot on about reactive vs proactive regulation. The pattern here is basically the same we saw with social media in the 2010s - tech moves fast, regulaters scramble after the damage is done. My sister works in digital policy and she's been saying for like 2 years that deepfake regulation was comming way too slow. Now we've got a situation where millions of users have access to tools that can be weaponised against anyone with a public photo online.

Thanks! I think the analogy with social media is interesting

This nails the enforcement gap: the issue isn’t only rules—it’s whether regulators can act faster than the harm can scale.

Sure let's shift responsibility on to the "AI" and ignore the of the people who knowingly enabled it and left it online for days. And then blame governments for not being prepared for the utter depravity of Musk and the like.
