If a billionaire is asking to be regulated, then it is long past time to do so. But under no circumstance should they ever be regulated in the way they want, or by the people they choose.

@deweyritten Sam Altman is asking for a brand new agency to be created and staffed on his recommendation in order to regulate that AIs won't "escape".

That's not a thing. It's sci-fi nonsense. It's like environmental regulations to prevent creating godzilla.What he's actually trying to do is invent a set of rules that only he can win, and establish that he can't be liable for the real harm he does. AI has only ever been a liability laundering machine, and he wants to enshrine that function in law.

He's also really desperate not to be regulated by the FTC, because their charter is to prevent and remedy actual harm to actual people.

@jenniferplusplus @deweyritten He's also in need of keeping that financial faucet of AI on as long as possible. That 10 billion deal seems like it is funneling 75% of profits back to Microsoft.
