Licensing can definitely turn into regulatory capture if it expands enough. It’s effectively a barrier to entry defined by the incumbent.

- jamilton 3y agoThey're saying don't do licensing, just make it illegal.
- peterth3 3y agoSorry, who’s “they” here? The incumbents OpenAI / DeepMind / Anthropic?
- ben_w 3y agoYudkowsky and similar. (I'm a lot more optimistic than such doomers, but I can at least see their position is coherent; LeCun has the opposite position, but unfortunately, while I want that position to be correct, I find his position to be the same kind of wishful thinking as a factory boss who thinks "common sense" beats health and safety regulations).
- JoshTriplett 3y agoNo, the incumbents think it should continue. The xrisk folks are not the AI companies. The AI companies pay lip service to xrisk and try to misdirect towards regulation they think they can work with. Judging by this thread, the misdirection is working.
- jamilton 3y agoIn this case I meant the GP comment from JoshTriplett.
