  Boy oh boy, looking forward to Congresspeople trying to get their heads around AI https://www.ft.com/...

  I'm genuinely furious. Open AI is at the top now. I love their tech. Now they're lobbying for licensing which will effectively halt new innovation except from... them. Or other top firms. This is atrocious, blatant rent seeking. I study licensing and I work on tech policy /1 http…

  Regulatory capture in action: Facebook, Palantir, OpenAI all say, “regulate us,” for it 1) absolves them of their own decision-making and 2) acts as a barrier to entry to new, small competitors. https://twitter.com/...

  Everyone working at openAI should be ashamed of themselves for empowering this insanity. This is straight up incumbents trying to own a technology relying on lawfare and regulatory capture. They know that open source will get ahead of them if left unrestricted. https://twitter.co…

  Calls for requiring licenses for advanced artificial intelligence by @OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and several senators sparked immediate pushback from outsiders warning that federal regulation could harm innovation and hurt smaller companies. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ ...

  OpenAI immediately going for AI regulation is lame as fuck

  I know you know this is important stuff. “Potential risks Blumenthal said he was worried about include deepfakes, weaponized disinformation, housing discrimination, harassment of women and impersonation frauds.” https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

  Asking for more regulation is a classic move of market leaders to suppress all competition. How petty of OpenAI to sink to this level. https://twitter.com/...

  “Altman, whose company created AI chatbot ChatGPT, will say that ‘the regulation of AI is essential’” and “will recommend that AI companies adhere to an ‘appropriate set of safety requirements, including internal and external testing prior to release’” https://www.ft.com/...

  Here's a twist: For the first time, a tech titan - Sam Altman @sama - asks for regulations, lawmakers ask decent questions, and everyone agrees of risks and opportunities. But what now? Making rules is going to be hard... https://www.nytimes.com/...

• @senatorshoshana @senatorshoshana on x

  JUST LAST WEEK I warned that Sen. Graham was talking about licensing speech and nobody was pushing back. The head of Open AI is now proposing the same. This is incredibly dangerous, let alone blatantly anticompetitive. https://www.nationalreview.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

  Remember how well Congress understood how Facebook worked? Now lets make them 10x more confused and explain AI https://www.ft.com/...

• @willflanderswi Will Flanders on x

  It never fails that as soon as a new industry is created, those that have a head start will seek to limit the competition through licensing. Now, we're seeing it with Open AI. https://twitter.com/...

  Fuck this. Fuck this back to the depths of hell from whence it came https://www.reuters.com/... [image]

  Not only how the sausage gets made, but how corporate interests get to put whatever they want into the sausage. https://www.cnbc.com/... >>

• @pt Parker on x

  I assume this discussion will focus on big companies and rules that make sense for them, but I'm much more curious to hear how people are thinking about open source and rogue AI operators, who are likely to be less scrupulous and less controllable with regulation. https://twitter…

  The weight of it, the history of it, just hit me, hard. I will do my best to take my small part, tomorrow. [image]

• @drkatedevlin Kate Devlin on x

  Gosh, it's almost like all the stuff loads of us have been saying for ages might get to happen because a tech bro has now said it. https://twitter.com/...

• @notbrunoagain @notbrunoagain on x

  Altman is pivoting from regulatory avoidance to regulatory capture. AI boosters shouldn't get any say in how their work is regulated. Or in anything, really. https://twitter.com/...

• @mtrc Mike Cook on x

  Now that regulation is inevitable, the best next PR move if you own a big tech company is to lean into it and attempt to guide the process as much as possible. https://twitter.com/...

• @emilymbender @emilymbender on x

  Hey Senate Judiciary Committee (@SenBlumenthal @mazieforhawaii @CoryBooker et al) are you actually interesting in learning about the risks of this tech? If so, you should be talking to @AJLUnited @timnitGebru @rajiinio @safiyanoble and def not Sam Altman https://www.judiciary.sen…

• @ldrogen Leigh Drogen on x

  It was sadly inevitable that large firms would attempt to pull the ladder up on open source AI development Fuck these people https://twitter.com/...

• @tcpeter Tim Peter on x

  Can you say, “pulling up the ladders”? https://twitter.com/...
