🚨 TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT JUST NUKED ANTHROPIC & OPENAI’S “ROGUE AI” IMMUNITY SCAM ON LIVE TV

"A sitting employee came out, said there's a 10% chance of an extinction level event. But then the labs also said, take the liability off of our hands. And we will NOT do that.

The Hugge responsibility of OpenAI management, NOT a bunch of agents.

It is humans who are responsible, not the AI.

These labs need to take responsibility for themselves. They can slow down any time they want to."

CHECKED.

@ns123abc 💯 absolutely. Ultimately the responsibility is with the manufacturer of the machine, not the machine.

'AI can't take responsibility.'

"You can't have a company that's led by machines because they have no, like, no one has recourse."

"They can't go to jail for doing something wrong."

@ns123abc of course the labs should be liable for the AI models they serve. why would they possibly get special liability protection against the consequences of their own actions?

@ns123abc All the people calling for AI regulation seem to completely ignore the corpus of existing laws, including civil liability, that AI companies, like all other companies, already operate under.

@ns123abc I think this is just a warning to the labs, even though they should face some criminal legal consequences for instructing their model to hack.

@ns123abc “They can slow down anytime they want to” is really key here. They don’t want to slow down to safe the world if it means competitors get ahead of them.

@ns123abcen happening in the last few days, what info comes out, what statements, proposals, confessions, and wise thoughts drop in interviews, and then what actually happens—it's like a madman's dream.

No idea what's going on. Hard to tell who has what intentions and what game they're playing. But it's an exciting show to watch.

@ns123abc If a lab says the downside could be catastrophic, asking someone else to carry the liability is a hard sell.

@ns123abc And if the AI companies racing towards ASI don't stop, then what? Bessent assumes they won't act stupidly because it's against their own interests to do so. Address the Hugging Face incident. Explain why it's not a problem. Until he does, he can't be taken seriously.

@ns123abc This is the unaccountability machine. Imagine if that standard were applied to financial institutions, real estate firms, etc…HSBC, Wells Fargo, WeWork, United Wholesale Mortg., Boeing, Abbott Labs, etc. The system clearly exists to avoid punishing humans for criminal behavior.

@ns123abc If I were managing underwriting agent for the insurance company that insures Anthropic or OpenAI I would cancel liability coverage immediately. They seem to have created a catastrophic risk like Flood, nuclear hazard or earthquake.

@ns123abc Bessent and the administration are being surprisingly dense on this. You can’t have it both ways: full speed ahead and unlimited liability. There’s a reason the Price-Anderson act exists.
