Not sure why you ignore that a lot "regulation" also came from the private sector because they didn't want to deal with stuff going wrong all the time so they self-regulated. People on their own do decide that there is stuff they don't want to leave to chance.
Also, your proposition means people need to be able check out of society proper - good luck with that. Otherwise someone else will need to pick-up the tap for those "own decisions".
- biomcgary 3y agoPeople often decide they don't want to leave competition to chance. Regulatory capture is frequently used to reinforce entrenched power. Most recently, Sam Altman of OpenAI fearmongering for AI regulation, since OpenAI is currently in the lead. If he agreed to shut down OpenAI for the greater good, he'd be a bit more credible.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoIt seems to me robotics companies are "in the lead" on AI as it pertains to (semi) autonomous decision making.
- RandomLensman 3y agoNot quite sure how that relates to private rule making, i.e., no politicians involved
- pixl97 3y ago"Private rules" = "no rules" Or I should say, the rules can only exist where natural monopolies exist, any competitive market will descend into chaos as the number of entrants in the market will increase and will quickly defect from any private rule set.
- RandomLensman 3y agoNot true at all, have a look at how people got around to regulating steam engine boilers, for example. Not natural monopolies, either.
- pixl97 3y ago> have a look how people got around to regulating steam engine You mean by having a fuckton of people dying first due to exploding boilers... My response to that is, you first.
- RandomLensman 3y agoDidn't the industry create rules of their own, or did they?
