Oil basically has an add on tax. It doesn't actually do anything about whatever cause aside from lining someone's pockets while the costs are passed on to consumers. We're seeing that now with AI.

No it won't. These people and their financial backers are the most powerful people in society. With what leverage would the rest of us force taxation upon them? Lol

Scare people about industry x and if y and z don't happen we'll all die. Gin up public sentiment. The corp will gladly cut a check to make them go away.

Why would they want to do that though? Everyone in power benefits from AI. Why would they want to tax it?

Not everyone is getting paid. I saw a podcast a few years back about how the environmental movement attached itself to the oil industry and I think that seems like the model AI will go. Those funds feed pacs and pols indirectly.
