I would argue that it is society’s job to care for its most vulnerable.

[llm_trw]

Yes, not openai's.

[dns_snek]

It depends. I don't think OpenAI (or anyone else selling products to the general audience) should be forced to make their products so safe that they can't possibly harm anyone under any circumstance. That's just going to make the product useless (like many LLMs currently are, depending on the topic). However that's a very different standard than the original comment which stated:

> I suspect Altman/Brockman/Murati intended for this thing to be dangerous for mentally unwell users, using the exact same logic as tobacco companies.

Tobacco companies knew about the dangers of their products, and they purposefully downplayed them, manipulated research, and exploited addictive properties of their products for profit, which caused great harm to society.

Disclosing all known (or potential) dangers of your products and not purposefully exploiting society (psychologically, physiologically, financially, or otherwise) is a standard that every company should be forced to meet.

Corporations should benefit the society and avoid harming it in some shape or form, this is why we have regulations around them.

[bongodongobob]

That doesn't mean we pad all the rooms or ban peanuts. Yes, we should care for them but not at the detriment of the other 99%.

[earthling8118]

Well, conveniently, this is benefitting the 1% much more than the 99%

[llm_trw]

And a nanny state benefits a different 1% much more than the 99%.

[fipar]

That's a false dilemma.

[llm_trw]

Having seem far too many orgs implode because of that new 1%, no it really isn't. Replacing greed with self-righteousness as the original sin of those in power does not help anyone.

[bongodongobob]

Do you mean the richest 1%? How? Sounds pretty woo woo to me.
