"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This reminds me of both the Ford Pinto recall story, and all the Ayn Rand nonsense adventure novels.
A sensible AI safety bill would be like:
The person or organization outsourcing the work to AI is responsible for the damages it causes, including death, injuries, wrongful arrests, financial damages, and discriminatory practices. In case of the AI vendors advertising the models as "infallible", perfect, then they can be also held responsible for the damages.
But techbros don't believe in responsibility, or it is only for the plebs, towards them.
