   They can spin it how they want, but it'll 100% turn out to be a AI doomerist panic reaction. They didn't even inform MSFT about it which is absolutely ridiculous

   I believe altman had some ownership, however it is a general lesson of handing over substantial power to laymen who are completely detached from the actual ops & know-how of the company

    Indeed, on one hand you have a convoluted modern caste system which can irrationally change form at any given time - and on the other hand, you have philosophical ideas that have matured over hundreds or even thousands of years. It's n

    On the coattails of the CSAR draft for which the expert group was mostly lead by Google, I went to seek whether a similar "expert group" exists for this program. Indeed, there's supposed to be something called the "toolb

    Oh yes. Strong industry lobby groups from the US, a handful of useful idiots from the EU. Amazing power balance.

    The expert panel for this was truly a sight to behold, with majority representation coming from outside the EU (mostly american, but also canadian, new zealand and australian representation): https://twitter.com/SimoKohone

    I've become so jaded by the EU that was expecting the worst from this, so kudos Let's see how quickly it'll resurface again

    This plus the fact that legislation in the EU happens via one or more proxies, so the potential for a citizen of a member country to have a say in these matters is close to zero
