- brap 3y agoAlways has been
- paulcole 3y agoAlso that he knows how inefficient and dumb government is. By the time the regulations are in place they won't matter one iota.
- captainkrtek 3y agoThink most of congress needs help from their grandchildren to use a computer or smartphone, pretty sure they don’t understand one bit of this.

- f4c39012 3y agoit is 100% pulling the ladder up behind them
- autokad 3y agoI like that analogy
- vsareto 3y agoWhy would OpenAI be worried about new entrants that are almost certainly too small to present a business threat? What regulation are they proposing that is actually a serious barrier to making a company around AI? If OpenAI just wants to prevent another OpenAI eating its lunch, the barrier there is raw compute. Companies that can afford that can afford to jump regulatory hurdles.
- chaos_emergent 3y ago> Why would OpenAI be worried about new entrants that are almost certainly too small to present a business threat? Because this is the reason that VCs exist in the first place. They can roll a company with a ton of capital, just like they did with ride share companies. When that happens, and there aren't sufficient barriers to entry, it's a race to the bottom.
- SamPatt 3y agoOpenAI was the new entrant that almost certainly didn't pose a threat to Google. This is classic regulatory capture.

- cal5k 3y agoThis. DALL-E (at least the currently available version) is way too focused on "safety" to be interesting. The creativity unleashed by the SD community has been mind-blowing.
- nerpderp82 3y agoAnd you can train your own SD from scratch for 50-100k now.

- joshxyz 3y agosir yes sir
- option 3y agoyes.
- bostonsre 3y agoIt could be, but it could also be because he is genuinely worried about the future impact of runaway capitalism without guardrails + AI.
- ipaddr 3y agoThen the government should takeover OpenAI
- hkt 3y agoOr end capitalism! One or the other!
- bostonsre 3y agoOr.. the government could try to apply sensible regulations so that OpenAI and other corporations are less likely to harm society.
- ipaddr 3y agoThen the government has to spend so much time/money enforcing the rules. When there are few players cutting out the middlemen provides more value
- bostonsre 3y agoI don't think nationalizing AI corporations is feasible (doubt its legal as well) or in the best interests of the united states. It will handicap development of AI, we will lose our head start, and other countries like China will be able to take the lead. What value do you see nationalization providing? Generally its done by countries that are having their natural resources extracted by foreign companies and taking all the profits for themselves. Nationalizing lets them take the profits for their country. I'm not sure how it would work for knowledge based companies like OpenAI.
- Seattle3503 3y agoMy main concern is what new regulations would do to the open source and hobbiest endeavors? They will be least able to adapt to regulations.
- throwawaaarrgh 3y agoIt's also to prevent open source research from destroying his business model, which depends on him having a completely proprietary technology.
