seems like blaming the users is the appropriate thing to do. just like blaming users for how they misuse guns and or photoshop.

- femiagbabiaka 9mo agoExcept in this case someone else owns the gun and they allow anyone on the planet (with an X account) to ask for someone else to be shot at will.
- roywiggins 9mo agoWould you blame only the users of a murder-for-hire service? Sure, yes, they are also to blame, but the murder-for-hire service would also seem to be equally culpable.
- ethical_source 9mo agoA prediction market is a murder-for-hire service. See https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/8e4QNySp4LjvdBstx/how-prediction-markets-can-create-harmful-outcomes-a-case https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/8e4QNySp4LjvdBstx/how-predic... Shall we ban prediction markets?
- roywiggins 9mo agoyeah, probably. life was fine without them
- Kreutzer 9mo agoYes, please.
- footy 9mo agoyes. It's obscene that they exist.
- BigTTYGothGF 9mo agoThat link claims to be a "case study" but I don't see any case being discussed?
- GoatInGrey 9mo agoGrok is a hosted service. In your analogy, it would be like a gun shop renting a gun out to someone who puts down "Rob a store" as the intended usage of the rental. Then renting another gun to that same client. Then when confronted, telling people "I'm not responsible for what people do with the guns they rent from me". It's not a personal tool that the company has no control over. It's a service they are actively providing and administering.
- tedivm 9mo agoI think a better analogy would be going into a gun shop and paying the owner to shoot someone. They're asking grok to undress people and it's just doing it.
