They expect:
- To be paid a lot of money by OpenAI to go away, or
- To be paid a lot of money to have a role in vetting future AI products, or
- To be paid a lot of money by wealthy individuals in the AI alignment camp, or
- To be paid a lot of money by OpenAI's competitors to block research until they can catch up with OpenAI.

It reminds me of a time when new ideas about spirituality and human position in the universe were so disruptive to the status quo operation of the church and kingdom of England that they were outlawed.
And pilgrims abandoned all they had to cross a virtually unpassable ocean to seek empty land to build from scratch but with the freedom to continue experimenting with their new ideas.
Funny how this country has come full circle.

#34I'm sure that China is going to honor the demands of activists in America and halt its development of AI projects
Re: OpenAI faces complaint to FTC that seeks suspension of ChatGPT releases
#35I mean, can't they just move the company to a friendly island nation, or elsewhere?
It's in our best interest the an American company is far and away the leader in this field.

Interesting. I hadn’t thought about this as a pure money grab yet.

#37Neo-Luddism. Like they are going to stop China or any other country outside US or EU. The most they can hope to do, is to force some companies to move off-shore. Wonder where was all this people when Elon Musk started releasing betas on FSD. Self-appointed 'Center for AI and Digital Policy', nothing more to add.

Loudly and openly for the entire duration, including governments specifically saying the marketing was misleading.

If they succeed in freezing AI development there will be no APIs like OpenAI is offering. It'll be all closed doors. Huge Benefit for those with access, rest of humanity basically plebs.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Your argument is companies should be allowed to do anything they like, because there will be another country where they can abuse with impunity?
I think the argument is that no harm has actually been shown and there is no legal reason to have one of the fastest growing companies hamstrung while Big Tech gets it's shit together.
SEO spam and social media fake content are already pretty common, so there is definitely at least some harm

As long as ChatGPT and GPT-4 is available as an API, the cat has been tethered by its owner and can be put back into the bag.

Where 90% of startups have just went out of business. Even if they are emerging, the big tech conglomerates will just out pace them before they could attempt to challenge them.

They said that about FSD as well, IoT, etc. Yet none of that was trusted enough to 'take off'.
There is something in the way which separates the legitimate use-cases from the grifters and it is called 'Regulation and compliance', which eliminates the majority of short-term grifts just like the AI hype of LLMs on everything.
