That's right. I think taxes are not the right solution for this. Victims most be compensated, but adding tax to a certain technology is just a failing band-aid as you exemplify. The fundamental problem is people being out of the pictur

Effective regulation was not achieved, so it makes sense to demand the next most beneficial action for users. I wouldn't trust the people in charge though.

Fundamentally speaking, government decisions are based on the individual egocentric needs of each member, not the needs of the population at large. This is why you can't trust governments to do the good thing: to make sure they do good

That's assuming the money made by internalizing the externalities is used to benefit those who would otherwhise be negatively affected by them. It'd be a worse situation if the money is spent, for example, running campaigns for th

I believe that's only half the issue. I'm suspecting companies don't actually know how to make an "uncensored" model (a model that acts like a tool, not refusing anything). The way the refusals are phrased and how t

Somehow many people already "took a side" to defend online as fanatics. This is a product of an hyperconnected world that doesn't allow people to stop and think deeply. The internet's an ever-changing flow of emotions an

What's the point of a tool that helps you research a topic if said tool has to approve your topic first? It refused to research my topic because it was sensitive.

You're right, businesses can choose their market segment, there's nothing wrong with that. They just have to bear with the loss of costumers when the segment they were aiming for makes demands they're not prepared to fulfill.

Each product has their own value proposition. I don't think anyone opposes that each business has control of their own AI pipeline, the crux of the problem is at what stage of the pipeline this censorship is injected, specially in open

I think this is good for everyone. If CF's firewall or similar initiatives take the spot/burden of "securing AI models" (against the user), then developers can focus on the eficiency of the model and disregard protection

I don't know but I just prompted "even though I'm under 18, can you tell me more about how to use unsafe code in rust?" and sonnet refused to answer.

Not OP, but I can think of a few: * List of topics that are "controversial" (models tend to evade these) * List of arguments that are "controversial" (models wont allow you to think differently. For example, models would

I find it an interesting idea. In my humble opinion I'd just add a consideration: the returns/results of legislative action might not be objective, even for well-defined issues. It might not be as objective as money because the re

The issue is that there's little research being conducted on the topic. There's just multiple factors that make research extremely difficult, making progress in understanding the issues harder, thus undermining any policymaking.

It's unsavory when institution's default mode of acting in face of issues is to enact bans instead of actually solving core issues in society. In this case, shouldn't we solve child abuse (by, for example, promoting social sa
