    One of the worst things about this is that it might actually be good for OpenAI.

    They love “criti-hype”, and they really want regulation. Regulation would lock in the most powerful companies by making it really hard for the small companies to comply with difficult regulation. And, hype that makes their product seem incredibly dangerous just makes it seem like what they have is world-changing and not just “spicy autocomplete”.

    “Artificial Intelligence Drives a Teen to Suicide” is a much more impressive headline than “Troubled Teen Fooled by Spicy Autocomplete”.

      Also these things being unregulated will kill the most poisonous spaces in the Internet, dead Internet theory and such, and build demand for end-to-end trust in identity and message authorship.

      While if they are regulated, it’ll be a perpetual controlled war against bots, used to scare the majority away from any kind of decentralization and anarchy.
