AI doesn't need regulations, but the owners of AI do.

This is terrible.

Information being unregulated in the land of free speech.

What next ?

Maybe we should put Microsoft in charge, since we can trust them.

(it's sarcasm, have a great day everyone)

“Brad Smith said there needed to be global safety rules in place, including a legal obligation to tell a "victim" if their system is breached by a rogue AI agent…”

Silicon Valley has unprecedented ability to control the global narrative at this point. Everyone loves censorship until it affects them personally.

The more rules in place concerning using AI, the more individuals will just pay the per token fees to avoid the complications.

Everyone running their own email server raise your hand.

The big boys have the tech and are trying to close the gates behind them, again.

I don’t think you have to let the AI companies set the rules. In fact you probably shouldn’t!

Well, didn't the President just say they were policing themselves ?

When you look that up in Satans Corporate Dictionary, the phrase "policing themselves" means "fleecing the public while erecting barriers to entry" aka classic rent seeking behavior.

It's the policing (banning) of competitors, like open weights, that we need to watch out for. They are trying to pull the ladder up behind themselves by spreading FUD.
