You are literally modern day luddites.

If you succeed, you will undo decades of technological progress.

How? If you want to distribute a commercial non-research model, simply train it on data sets where people have given consent. I doubt that research would be affected.

At most, I’d expect copyright legislation around training to slightly delay commercial mass-deployment. Given the huge socio-technical transition that is ahead of us, it’s probably a good thing to let people have a chance to form an opinion before opening the floodgates. Judging by our transition into ad-tech social media, I’m not exactly confident that we’ll end up in a good place, even if the tech itself has a lot of potential.

How can you uninvent and undistribute a technology?

I never suggested that. By floodgates, I mean widespread commercial application. If entirely new economic sectors are created, it’s incredibly hard, socially, to retroactively apply boundaries, should they be desirable. Initial conditions are incredibly impactful.
