cigarettes don't cause cancer! -cigarette companies
- keeda 7mo agoExcept this is the company that's been saying "We will cause cancer, please regulate us!"
- oytis 7mo agoPlease regulate our competition! Challenging our monopoly is a national security risk!
- keeda 7mo agoCould you point me to a comment where anyone said regulation should only apply to their competition? Any talk has been for the entire AI industry. If you claim regulation favors the incumbents, well take it up with parent commenter whose comment seems to imply that regulation is needed!
- camdenreslink 7mo agoIncumbents love regulation, because they are much better positioned to comply with it than any upstarts or new challengers. So, when a company like Anthropic gets a decent marketshare, their priority shifts to lobbying for regulation to limit competition. It is a form of regulatory capture.
- keeda 7mo agoThat's what I meant, but as the root comment implied, regulation is needed, so the solution is not laissez-faire. These companies are not going to regulate themselves. Capitalism is going to drive them to relentlessly compete for growth at all costs, a lot of which would be imposed on society. At least they are honest that regulation is needed, unlike Big Tobacco.
