The Soapbox E01: one-day regulator, AI takeover, and industry frustrations

Welcome to The Soapbo x, a summer special from The Laundry. The humble soapbox has been used for free speech and the open sharing of views for over a century! We're channeling that spirit and inviting industry experts to share their hot takes on today's most pressing questions. This week: * If you were the regulator for a day, what's the one thing you'd change? * What should AI take over — and what should it leave alone? * What's the most frustrating part of your work, and how would you fix it?
