Between stuff like this, and the risks of effects on regulated industries like therapists, lawyers and doctors, they're going to regulate ChatGPT into oblivion.

Just like Waymo facing regulation after the cat death.

The establishment will look for any means to stop disruption and keep their dominant positions.

It's a crazy world where we look to China for free development and technology.

ChatGPT is the product of a private, 300B USD evaluated company whose founder has whose net worth outpaces that of over 99% of humans alive. It's compute infrastructure is a subsidized by one of less than ten companies that has a market cap over 1T USD. It is practically embedded into the governments of the US and UK at this point.

I would say it's a crazy world where an educated adult would see it as an antipode to the establishment.

It might be instructive to consider why it was felt these industries needed regulating in the first place?

[water9]

Yeah, because nobody can take personal responsibility from them themselves anymore. And everybody turns to big government to save them.

Ah yes, why demand that doctors be properly licensed – you should just "take responsibility" and do a little background check after your car crash, just to make sure you're not operated on by some random hack.

I wonder how much time you'll spend inspecting farms and food processing plants in order to "be responsible" about the food you eat.

Have we seriously learned nothing from the last century or so of mostly sensible regulations? I dread our species' future.

[4ndrewl]

Was the government big when these regulations were introduced?

So you think it's ok for a company to provide therapy services, legal services, medical advice, etc., without proper licensing or outside of a regulatory framework? Just as long as those services are provided by an LLM?

That's a terrifying stance.

> The establishment will look for any means to stop disruption and keep their dominant positions.

It is perfectly possible for regulations to be good and necessary, and at the same time for people who feel threatened by a new technology to correctly point out the goodness and necessity of said regulations. Whether their motivations come from the threat of new technology or not is irrelevant if their arguments hold up to scrutiny. And when it comes to some of the listed professions, I certainly think they do. Do you disagree?

The Waymo case annoys so much. The cat directly went quickly and stealthily under the car while it was stopped and decided to lay directly beneath the wheel. A human driver wouldn't have been able to act any differently in the same situation.

These people were waiting for any excuse to try and halt new technology and progress and thanks to the hordes of overly-emotional toxoplasmosis sufferers they got it.

If this was an open weight model the kid was using, I'd agree with you. But that's not the case. You don't think that this is at all problematic?
