You know it's bad when even scam altman calls for regulations. They spend their entire lives telling you regulations are bad and taxation is theft but as soon as they need to drown the competition they lobby for more regulations https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/openai-chief-sam-altman-says-125826974.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/openai-chief-sam-altman-...

This comment cannot be further from reality. Altman has always been a very loud advocate for AI regulation. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/16/technology/openai-altman-artificial-intelligence-regulation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/16/technology/openai-altman-...

  Of course he has. Major incumbents want regulation that makes it harder for new comers

  Except when that regulation actually has teeth, which is why he opposed California’s SB 1047. I agree with GP that Altman (and all the rest) want regulation insofar as it protects their moat but no further.

And then the EU said “OK, let’s regulate”, and Altman said “no, not like that!” https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-may-leave-eu-if-regulations-bite-ceo-2023-05-24/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-may-leave-eu-if-re... Note the dates. The above article was posted merely a week after yours. Altman only cares about regulations if they can benefit him, he doesn’t do it out of some sense of morality. To these tech bros, “regulation” means “codify into law whatever I’m doing, and disallow everything else so I don’t have competition.”

Using words like “Scam Altman” instantly reduces credibility of the author in my eyes. If you want to convince people of something, perhaps it’s better not to use childish methods. No disrespect, just sharing my thoughts. I see “Elmo Musk” and “Orange Man” etc., and I immediately think this is not worth reading (regardless of my opinion of those persons).

  How sad for you. Whenever I hear people proudly announcing how arbitrarily and illogically and performatively they decide what's worth reading, I don't think what you write is worth reading either. I'm much better off reading diverse opinions and deciding what to believe based on what they actually say, instead of imposing petty rules and self-censoring what I read, and self-cultivating ignorance. You'd be much better off, mentally healthier, and subjected to less propaganda if instead you ignored what "Scam Altman" and "Elmo Musk" and "Orange Man" write instead of what people who criticize them write, since they have such asymmetrically bigger platforms and pro-oligarchy biases than their critics, and they also regularly call people childish names themselves. TL;DR: you're choosing to ignore the wrong people.
