An excellent article by Jean-Christophe Bélisle-Pipon on OpenAI's reaction to the Tumbler Ridge tragedy:
OpenAI’s safety pledges in the wake of Tumbler Ridge aren’t AI regulation — they’re surveillance
"True AI regulation asks whether a model might facilitate or amplify harmful ideation through its interaction patterns. It asks how the system is built, what it’s tested for and what obligations attach to its deployment.
The current arrangement asks none of these questions. Instead, it builds a pipeline from private AI interactions to law enforcement, administered by a corporation, governed by proprietary policy.
I call this the surveillance substitution: a governance vacuum gets filled not with democratic regulation, but with corporate surveillance of users. It is not regulation of AI. It is regulation of the people who use AI, conducted by the AI company itself, with the police as the endpoint."
