AI needs guardrails, not self-policing by moguls - David Horseyseattletimes.com/opinion/ai-ne#DavidHorsey #PoliticalCartoons #uspol

Political cartoon by David Horsey for The Seattle Times. Five cartoon boys wearing t-shirts labeled "ANTHROPIC", "GOOGLE", "META", "XAI", and "OPENAI" stand around a wooden crate labeled "AI DYNAMITE" filled with sticks of dynamite. The boys hold lit matches, lighters, and smoking sticks of dynamite. A woman off to the left asks, "WHAT ARE YOU BOYS DOING OUT THERE?", while the boy labeled "OPENAI" replies, "DON'T WORRY, MOM, WE CAN POLICE OURSELVES!"

Any organisation that is permitted to regulate or investigate itself is intrinsically corrupt and unfit for purpose.

    Except it’s the rest of society they are throwing the dynamite at.

    I have never ONCE had even a TINY bit of fear about AI.

    100% of the problem is the people who control it and what they're doing with it with absolutely no oversight by anybody who knows what they're doing, every single goddamn one of them hoisted by their own petard.

    LLMs will not become Strong AI. It's a lie that is being sold to investors. Connecting autocomplete to a command prompt and looking away was deemed "escaping containment". They've got us chomping at the bit for software regulatory capture.

    How are these guardrails implemented, who is responsible for enacting them?
