We regulate medicine, nuclear technology, television, movies, monopolies, energy, financial services, etc. because these things can be harmful if left solely to the market. Americans value honest work, dignity, prosperity and equal opportunity. Innovation is useful in so far as it enables our values - regulation is not counter to Americans interests, it protects them.
- andsoitis 10mo ago> We regulate medicine, nuclear technology, television, movies, monopolies, energy, financial services, etc. Many of those regulations at the federal level, yes?
- windexh8er 10mo agoSure. And this is not that. This says: before we begin to think about our policy let's make sure to remove any barriers for Mr. Altman and friends so that they don't get sucked down with their Oracle branded boat anchor. If this had any whiff of actually shedding light on these needed regulations the root OP wouldn't have said what they did. But for now I'm going to head over to Polymarket and see if there are any bets I can place on Trump's kids being appointed to the OpenAI board.

- XenophileJKO 10mo agoI feel like anyone making this argument hasn't studied how those regulations happened. They ALL happened AFTER people got hurt. That's how we do things here. We always have. It's kind of messed up, but the alternative is a bunch of rules on things that wouldn't be a real problem.
- miohtama 10mo agoThe latter is called the EU.
- myaccountonhn 10mo agoWhy?
- __MatrixMan__ 10mo agoBecause that's what the people who made all of those rules decided to call themselves.
- true_religion 10mo agoWho got hurt before the US banned the export of cryptography?
- Cyph0n 10mo agoThe CIA, probably.
- naasking 10mo agoCracking Enigma was a big deal in WW2. Germany got hurt real bad.
- XenophileJKO 10mo agoThat wasn't in the list above. We were talking primarily about consumer/market protections.
- true_religion 10mo agoRubyfan mentioned nuclear technology, which like cryptography, has a broad scope and military applications so isn’t something that was just left to the market to decide the best fit. I don’t think I’ve left the scope of this discussion.
