Y Combinator, AI startups oppose California AI safety bill
- gyudin 2y agoSure they are haha, they feel blood in the water and potential to make huge amounts of money.
- satvikpendem 2y agoThe article's tone is much more biased than the title suggests, starting right from the subtitle. Anyway, YC is probably right in that so-called safety checks (which is often just censorship in practice) could kill open source AI development and only allow big tech giants to control AI, which is the opposite of what many people want to happen. Say goodbye to open source AI and say hello to paying endlessly for APIs to cloud AI that can nevertheless deny your request on the slightest hint of impropriety.

- istillwritecode 2y agoAI is getting harder to build a tech business in because people are starting to see through the hype.
- mikemitchelldev 2y agoIt can't be worse than the EU, which is regulating AI as well https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/03/eu_ai_legistlation https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/03/eu_ai_legistlation
- shreezus 2y agoAI "safety" is nothing but an elaborate ruse toward deliberate regulatory capture.
- lancesells 2y agoIf this technology is as powerful and world changing as these companies say then of course it should have safety checks. Some of these people want to be Oppenheimer talking about AGI, but safety guidelines will stifle them? You think Microsoft, Apple, or Google need less regulation?
