Some people are not so horrifying that they would start a business with liabilities of that type. Any of us can hook up an uncensored LLM right now to a lot of apps, but it's very dangerous to release. There are greedy people that don't care and are doing it. If you are going to do these things, you must go into it with both eyes open. Some people are not ethically qualified to run businesses, but they will still have tons of success in it because they stick to the raw standard of $$$ accumulated. The broader standard for success (well rounded citizen) in society is more robust. Morality and ethics are part of it. Many parents don't talk to their kids, or their parents never talked to them, and the cycle continued. Many of these people can reach very very old ages as half a human.

Let's take the article's account as true and consider the "businessperson"/host he rented the car from. This isn't a matter of "there should be laws" here. The things they allegedly did are already illegal. Overstating the mileage on the vehicle is fraud etc. A person who does that is a criminal. Likewise the drivers who assault women. The mistake is in looking to Turo or Uber to adjudicate this. They're not the police. Go to the actual police. What nonsense is this that we expect a tech company to replace the courts? That's the source of the problem. Let the app just be an app and if criminals use the app they face an actual judge.

  Alright. Not a hill to die on. I do like that there is activism here. Truly, its civic activism that's done freely. If this is the last time I hear about bullshit like this, then wonderful. Otherwise, this all joins the very large pile of shit the tech bros have been unleashing. It's seductive to want to align with the bravado of cut-throat businessmen. I was sucker for it too. It's such a cool archetype when you are impressionable, but then you grow up and realize humanity is about more than that.
