There’s leadership for you.
Yup, and this was of course the whole point of getting up on a soap box and "calling for" regulation in the first place.
To make sure that at the end of the day, this "regulation" was thoroughly defanged, declawed, and ultimately -- pliable to the company's interest.

- golergka 3y agoThat's not how companies usually lobby for regulations. Much more often, they get regulation that is full of fangs, laws and rules which made specifically for them and that they can navigate with their huge legal departments, but which would deter any smaller competitors. So all of this "end of civilisation" talk from OpenAI and other AI company leaders is nothing more than a competitive play to secure their position in the space.
- Matticus_Rex 3y agoYes, ignore the fact that many of these people have been talking about this risk since long before they had the companies! Since sometimes companies lobby for regulation to create barriers to entry and carveouts, any public statements about AI risk must simply be lies to hobble competition!
- edgyquant 3y agoWhy is this a bad assumption? It’s in the interest to get regulation that grants them a moat.
- staunton 3y agoBoth things can be true at the same time.
- Matticus_Rex 3y agoSelf-interest is important to note, but self-interest doesn't automatically mean they're disingenuous. Having been worried about alignment for many years prior to working on an AI startup is an example of great evidence that they're actually worried rather than merely incentivized.
- kalkin 3y agoI don't quite understand how that's supposed to be consistent with OpenAI lobbying to weaken regulation.
