Please, Mr Government, you have to let us draft the regulations to address the dangers of our product and thereby enshrine it forever in the fabric of your legal framework. Pleeeeease, ensure that our corrosive and exploitative hypnotic weapon is fettered by toothless legislative guidelines we can point to when our victims demand justice for melting their brains and killing their children.
Those statements and a series of other mask-off moments feature heavily in an unredacted court filing that was unsealed Thursday in the behemoth New York Times vs OpenAI copyright lawsuit that has been winding its way through the court system for years.
I doubt any ruling from this lawsuit will make a big difference with regard to AI bs in the USA, but lol.“Our AI content strategy has started a ‘doom loop’ that will hurt the performance of our models and the entire web at the same time: It is highly unusual that an end-product threatens the economic foundations of its essential suppliers, but that is the situation we have created for our LLM business with respect to its ‘content supply chain,’” the document said.
[…] OpenAI’s policy director Jack Clark wrote that the company was “creating systems that substitute for the labor of the people that define the ‘culture’ of society” and Microsoft, in a policy document, wrote that generative AI could “significantly disrupt the employment of the very people who generated the data on which the foundation model was trained […] LLMs are a product that destroys its supply chain.” OpenAI called itself an “existential threat” to news publishers, and an OpenAI software engineer testified that “no matter how prominently we show the links, users won’t click.”
Ouroboros, copper from the walls, etc. I don’t think this state of affairs can last honestly.
