@lauren All of these companies know with certainty how people use technology. Therefore, they know people will die using their technology. If we keep letting corporations kill with impunity where do we expect this to lead?
@jmorris Can we sue car manufacturers because we know that some people will go 100mph on a winding country road and kill a bicyclist (this recently happened near where I live and I can almost guarantee that the driver will get at most a slap on the wrist and won't even lose his driver's licence).
I don't see much hope for anything stronger applying to BigTech but I applaud your enthusiasm.

@PeterLudemann @jmorris All signs are pointing to a massive crackdown on AI. It could happen very, very quickly, because politicians are getting hammered on this issue on a bipartisan basis. Polls show something between 70 and 80% of Americans want firms held responsible for AI, and data centers stopped. And those numbers are rising. This is now a mainstream media issue every day, not a techie one. This is across the board politically. That is a rare aspect indeed. Unfortunately, or maybe not, Section 230 will probably be shredded in the process, which will dramatically impact social media as firms pull back. Perhaps a good thing in the end. The Rubicon has been passed, the shark has been jumped. The AI firms have nobody to blame but their Billionaire Trump-lovin' CEOs selves.
@PeterLudemann @jmorris Autos have a long, long history in society, and a complex one. AI and massive data centers are something new, and can't benefit from a long complicated social history. So they are much more effectively targeted by regulatory regimes. But really, the key is that the AI firms have pushed this stuff all as first party content. The AIs routinely refer to themselves as "I". They have blown any chance they had at 230 protections out the window. They just don't realize it yet, because politicians have largely been on their side. But when the masses go after the politicians on this, as they are now, the politicos know which side of their bread is buttered. Watch and see.
@PeterLudemann @jmorris A better analogy would be if you could ask the car if it was safe to drive 100, and it said SURE! IT WILL BE A GREAT DRIVE!

@sumisu NO! NO! NO! That's frankly disgusting. This is 100% on the AI companies, not on ordinary people being pushed to use and trust these horrific LLM monsters, with the firms taking zero responsibility for the damage.
I think this is just blaming the victim. 99% of people (and 100% of programmers) have no idea how computers work, let alone an LLM.
They are handed a tool, and told -- loudly and repeatedly -- that it "thinks" and can summarize all human knowledge for the asking.
So they ask. And they get answers. Why *wouldn't* they trust that?
Expecting an average person to "know better" is asinine. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@agreeable_landfall @sumisu The author of the original post has apologized and says that they are deleting it. Appreciated.
