#2Fortunately at any moment the virtuous non-profit will step in and make this all okay.

#3Is this for like military scenarios or like, ChatGPT designed a drug that seemed to work, but people died by the millions 5 years later? Because they should 100% be liable for the latter. The former, good luck trying to prosecute an AI company for something the military does. To an extent, the military would probably want their AI models to be behind their private network, completely firewalled from any public network. SIPRNet iirc. If they lock it down behind a highly classified network, good luck figuring out how they're using AI.

#4So much for the "Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity." I was naive to hope that now such laws would ever pass

#5So they did the math and worked out it's cheaper and easier to lobby the government instead of working to make their product safe.
And these are the people that a lot programmers want to give the keys to the kingdom. Idiocracy really is in full effect.

#6Take all of the data, take all of the credit, take all of the money, and none of the blame.
That would be a better mission statement for OpenAI at this point.

They only care about benefiting what's left of humanity when they're done with it and it'll probably just be them and their cronies.

Why shouldn’t they be liable for military scenarios? Oh right, we don’t value our “enemies” lives, including their civilians.

Why? I don't see that a drug designed by ChatGPT should result in any more or less liability than a drug designed by a human?
I think if a human designs a drug and tests it and it all seems fine and the government approves it and then it later turns out to kill loads of people but nobody thought it would... that's just bad luck! You shouldn't face serious liability for that.

#10I am not sure what the other side of this argument looks like: Unlimited liability (i.e. liability no matter how poor an implementation and use of the tech is)?
The would be quite a novel burden, that no other tech (afaik) had to carry so far. We always assumed some operator responsibility. It's interesting to think of AI as a tech that could feasible be able to internally guardrail itself, and, maybe more so with increasing capability, no human can be expected to do so in it's stead – but, surely, some limits must apply and the more interesting question is what they are, as with any other tool?
