    In a normal world, having a product that drives humans to suicidal or homicidal behavior results in that product getting pulled from the market.

      I mean not in the US. Guns would have long been pulled off if that was the case. Same with booze and a million other things.

        You could make the argument that guns have more responsibilities tied to them.

        If you where to leave a loaded gun out on the table, and someone where to steal it off your table you would also be held liable for the crime because it wasn’t locked away in a gun safe unloaded.

        LLMs are the equivalent of handing out a loaded gun to everyone for free, even if they adamantly don’t want one. People like Sam Altmann and elon musk who keep pushing for this garbage to be your therapist and the only way to interact with life should face serious consequences like life in prison, and the companies they run should get a fine that’s impossibly large to pay off just like how infowars got a 500billion dollar fine. Info wars and chatgpt are pretty much the same product.

            Also I don’t have to use it or I should get used to it or it will replace my job what is it.

              Guns cause suicidal and homicidal behavior but they’re still on the market.

              That’s the point I was making before you jumped into the conversation.

                  Can’t hold them accountable, gotta repeat talking points that don’t solve anything. Holding them accountable would solve too much, and we cannot have that.

                    The one lawsuit I’m familiar with was suing a company because its ADVERTISING was a bit suspect.

                    I think guns should be regulated out of existence.

                    The only purpose of a real guns is to kill people. People will use guns to kill other people (and themselves). BUT I don’t see where just manufacturing a legal product that is used as intended and widely recognized is a lawsuit. It just seems like a desperate effort at regulation in a politically and judicially hostile environment.

                    Similarly, maybe LLMs are the same way–they will ALWAYS hallucinate and say crazy shit and there is no fixing that. In that case, they need to be heavily regulated and/or banned, and the only thing you can sue LLM companies for is not disclosing the risks and misrepresenting the product.

                Ah we are on the same page I’m just slow.

                My argument I was shoehorning into the conversation is guns are arguably safer even though the outcome is much more fatal and visceral.

                We need more laws on guns in the states which unfortunately most people are against. But despite that there are more laws on regulating the saftey of guns and holding people accountable for their actions, than there is on ai

                And in the usa trump insists on making it essentially illegal for the individual States to regulate Ai in any shape or form. At the same time Ai is getting forced down every sector including public schooling, all because of the oligarchy who needs all the world’s resources not just most of it. So increasingly you can’t just “not use it” which is a true statement I can at least make with guns.
