I wish they could do something like first offence, 10% of your annual revenue for the next 10 years goes to restitution efforts. Second offence, it's 30% plus the govt. gets to set a CEO and the top management for a year. Thrd strike and the company is shut down and liquidated and the board members or any big stockholders never get to work in that industry again.

Who will lose money?

You're right, I think most of the Western world politics is too dependent on the capital and that is dependent on the US markets. When the entire thing crashes, it's going to be bad. I'm pretty sure I'll be among those people affected, I'm in software, working (remotely) for an US firm. That was after recently losing my job due to failed investment. My wife's job just got "restructured" as well, and it's the second time in three years as well.

Not sure how we'll deal. I should be making plans on what to do when I lose the house and everything else. I kinda know it but I'm not sure what can I do.

Why collaborate with Britain? That's basically just going back to giving everything to us again, without getting much in return? Talking about that missile program in the article.

And if they do misdiagnose one in five patients, well, they shouldn't have gotten infected, it's their fault.

I would hardly call this dropping a hammer, though. I mean, the article itself says that OpenAI was lobbying for stuff like this.

For one, I don't think it's addressing any of the most troublesome problems. No mention of environmental impact. No mention of societal impact, or economic one. Nobody is addressing the horrible misuse of LLMs in, say education or biases that are built into the LLMs.

For two, what are the consequences? Sam Altman can go around saying whatever the hell he wants, mislead the government, the public, even their own users. No consequences. They can use bait and switch, no problems. The worst thing they can get is a few million dollars of fines. That's for the long time been just the cost of doing business.

It's a fig leaf law that doesn't look at any of the worst problems we have but the worst offenders can use it to say "no wait we're regulated".

Hell, if you did that, you could make a 100 billion IPO, with today's market.
