@emilymbender we love when a company like Uber or AirBnB or Amazon or OpenAI or most other of the companies that popped up alongside OpenAI think that they can make the necessary innovation to the field of their choice but that to do so they *simply must* be able to operate without oversight or regulation, and whether that results in a service that makes a significant change to its target market/industry or not, it always comes at the consequence of hurting people. Gig economy companies harm their gig workers by not offering them real employment and throwing them under the bus when things go wrong. Amazon tolerates through its market service and Audible a system that harms buyers and sellers and authors and publishers with fees and poor return policies. Now here come the "AI" companies that think that they have the solutions to all these problems that we never asked them to solve in the first place, and they'll sneak around or squeeze past any regulation to make it happen. OpenAI doesn't care to have any regulation as a health service because they believe that regulating their services would be too costly and complicated, and they can't deal with that, whether because they really think that "AI" will be this incomprehensible revolutionary thingy or because they simply don't want to waste time that could be spent making money. All this to say, this is a problem with tech companies. I don't know if it's just with tech companies, but they are certainly quite prone to it. They want to grow and grow and not think about regulations and sustainable business models. The latter usually warrants its own rant, but that is a separate rant from this one. OpenAI might not have enough users for its products to justify operating costs, and ChatGPT might not have enough data for another major upgrade, but what does it matter to them when they were always primarily concerned about services that produce growth and appeal to investors.
