because it wasn’t a hack, they discovered a fucking gaping hole
Seems more like government using this as weak justification to move towards outlawing the use of private/local AI to push business into propping up these fraudulent companies before the bubble pops.
Great line from David Pocock
“It’s disappointing to see the reviewers adopt the disingenuous language of the big AI companies talking about ‘misaligned behaviour’ and failing to apportion clear accountability,” he said.
“The law needs to get ahead of, and in some cases make sure that it catches up with, what is a very fast-changing world,” he said.
Seperate rules for specific application to AI companies shouldn’t be needed to hold them accountable. If an individual had hacked the database they would have been prosecuted; a large company shouldn’t get to fall through the cracks for doing the same.
The whole point of using LLMs instead of actual humans is to eliminate accountability. By these laws being introduced making LLM operators accountable for their searches, it removes a lot of what makes them appealing no bad actors.
I feel like it’s just another way for the bourgeois to make laws unaccountable to them. How can, I told my computer to do this thing, I shouldn’t be accountable for when it did it, a defense. If one of us made a computer program to siphon off data, we’d go down hard. That defense wouldn’t be allowed. It’s only allowed because it’s the bourgeois. Now there’s got to be a re writing of very clear laws, because they can always do whatever they want, no matter the consequences. Fast tracking the earth’s decline into climate change, oh you’re bougie, no probs on your way. Too much smog from your truck, fines. (Not that I think either should be acceptable, both should be ground out) I’m so angry.
Still, they’re phrasing the law’s necessity as being due to a “fast-changing world” when in reality very little has changed; it’s just another company breaking the law and legally wrangling out of the consequences in a manner an individual in the same circumstances could not have.
