Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

HUMANS are accountable for 100% of this.

Start slapping cuffs and it stops. They want regulation - regulate them into 6’ cells

This is 100% the case. If an engineering firm fucks up and a bridge of building collapses or a CPU lacks working floating point arithmetic, they're going to pay out the nose for it.

They're running around pretending they can't control any of this, but without giving a language model access to a shell or something, what the fuck can it do?

We have to deliberately grant these abilities. Otherwise, they don't exist.

I have been very confused so far this year, that every other week we hear about some company/country being attacked by an AI, but then everyone going "oh well, nothing anyone can do anything about. What a pity".

OpenAI staff have been attacking public databases with various internal tools. Charges have yet been laid.

Seems a little too convenient that a company, which desperately relies on data to train its models, has an oopsy involving its agents hacking numerous databases and stealing data.

Do the computer intrusion and hacking laws require intent? If not, these should be open and shut cases of criminal acts stemming from negligence.

“But nobody was harmed and nobody profited!”

Degrading access to databases harms the authorized users. The AI firms are profiting from this daya theft.

Finally, AI does something relatable.

that is why they found reddit to be less useful, which was typified by the drop in traffic. so they are going after other online sources. probably after free peer-review research paper(although they have been using cloudflare)

Smoke em while you got em. They gotta secure their competitive edge before legislation catches up.
