OpenAI boss Sam Altman wants $7tn. For all our sakes, pray he doesn’t get it::The man behind ChatGPT is wooing the UAE to invest in energy-hungry AI. But if it turns out his tech can’t fix the world, he’s got his escape plan

All AI needs to be shut the fuck down until it can be properly regulated. Making up the rules as we go is just fucking stupid.

Who are you expecting to regulate it? How are you envisioning those regulations working? Who and how is that getting enforced?

It’s like trying to regulate 3D printing. Sure, you can probably find some agency that can pretend to be in charge, but unless they have monitoring software installed on every 3D printer including consumer and DIY units, they aren’t going to know what anyone does in their basement.

Lol by who? Octogenarian Congress members who get more bribes than emails?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Bribes are the only way to get their attention since they don't read their emails

It'll be shut down for decades then. Governments around the world are dynamically doing bugger all about it.

I’d be fine with that. As long as it’s contained.

Problem there is that we don't really don't know what rules we need until we mind of have it. Governments do need to be much faster with making these rules when they appear needed, though, and AI companies should require a LOT more government supervision.
