Concept: Criminal charges for Sam Altman

[researchfairy@scholar.social]

Convincing children to kill themselves or others is a crime in Canada

Maybe it should also be treated as a crime if you do it at scale using AI

@researchfairy *extremely Wednesday voice* what a concept!!

@researchfairy Computers, corporations, autos, drones, paid employees/contractors, and many other machines/agents are what we might call "responsibility erasers". The powerful figured this out a long time ago.

@researchfairy concept: the Mussolini treatment for the lot of them

[researchfairy@scholar.social]

If there's no criminal charges, even if OpenAI loses the civil court case and has to pay

The only lesson they'll learn is: the dollar amount that they have to factor in to their cost of business per child murdered

If you want anything to change, CEO's need to go to prison when they operate machines that convince children to kill themselves and others

@researchfairy scam altman is untouchable

@researchfairy I would be very happy for a law that said that crimes mediated by software of any stripe still count as crimes. Algorithmic collusion is still collusion. Algorithmic wage theft is still wage theft, and algorithmic incitement to suicide is still exactly what it is.

@researchfairy the entire fiction of the “corporate veil” that protects all corporate CEOs and directors from criminal responsibility for all crimes (and civil liability as well) should be entirely abolished. Corporations don’t commit crimes; the decision-makers who control them do.
