But a software developer can be held accountable.

  Which one exactly? The one who worked on the training data set? The one supervising RLHF? One who wrote the attention algorithm? Or maybe the DevOps person who managed deployment that failed? Or... all of them?

    If you're building a bridge, legally you must have an accredited engineer sign off on the plans and stamp them. If the bridge subsequently collapses because the plans were wrong, that engineer goes to prison. Of course, the big problem here is that any engineer who knows how LLMs work probably wouldn't bet jail time that one they built would never do the wrong thing

      A programmer isn't the accredited engineer though; they're the steelworker welding joints together. A Program Manager is actually overseeing the execution of the development. Everybody is so worried that they'll got to jail over missing a semi-colon but like that isn't true.
