warned that liability for mass casualties caused by AI will destroy the industry
Get real, man!
If liability really can destroy an industry, then this industry should never have existed in the first place.
I guess if AI can destroy humanity, then humanity should never have existed in the first place.
What an inane analogy. “Humanity” is not liable for the actions of legal entities like corporations. Should we all be punished for the misdeeds of boeing? It’s probably only a few people who are directly responsible. Don’t shill for them.
Did they need a slash s for this? Did they? Because people like you make me believe they needed a slash s. Like. Obviously this was a sarcastic comment because the original comment they responded to was horribly fallible. There are whole industries built on the idea that an industry can be destroyed by liability. It’s literally why we have liability insurance. So when someone responds to that comment with an equally fallible statement that is clearly meant to be sarcastic we just ignore that because we feel that their statement is wrong? What even is this.
with the crazy shit on the internet nowadays, you have to assume the worst at all times. not everyone is good at sarcasm, even when it’s obvious.
Or…just don’t use AI.
These dumb shits act like it’s enriching people’s lives. Instead, it’s just making a very specific group of rich people more wealthy.
It’s a fleecing of suckers who think it’s some useful tool to eliminate human workers that cost money.
It’s a positive that it removes jobs. The negative is that society can’t deal with it.
it removes jobs.
They can work at the power plants then. You know, we need so many more power plants, in order to feed our Great and Hungry AI.

That’s always a good sign I guess.
Anytime a fortune500 is against something by saying it’s essentially bad for business, then I’m all for it
They’ve gotten smart enough to use reverse psychology on this kind of thing.
This very much feels like “Only please, Brer Fox, please don’t throw me into the briar patch.”
Sounds like this is will foss models. This is why all the bug tech companies are pushing ai dangerous narrative they gonna legislate away our freedom for moss models to keep hold of a monopoly. This is how liberty dies with thunderous applause.
legislation in the works that mandates that companies that spend more than $100 million on training a “frontier model” in AI — like the in-progress GPT-5 — do safety testing. Otherwise, they would be liable if their AI system leads to a “mass casualty event” or more than $500 million in damages in a single incident or set of closely linked incidents.
Are those models made by companies that would be affected based on the conditions above?
All models are very costly regardless of open source or closed source, but I’m not sure any current model reaches that high. The 100$ million seems to only applies to the cost of computing and not of buying the actual cards.
The legislation is essentially asking that it can’t make nukes or do massive hacking attacking and only asking it of people that definitely have the money to make sure.
It’s actually very level headed compared to what most are pushing for. I can’t even see it affect current gen AI, which are mostly harmless anyways.
I believe some may reach that and it does set a significant limit on capability of foss.
Yup, exactly. The only regulation I’d be in favor of for AI is this: if it was trained on data which can be accessed by or was posted by the public, it must be freely available, such that if anything in the training data was posted online in a way anyone can see, then then I have free access to tge AI too.
Basically any other regulation, even if the companies whine publicly, is actually one that benefits them by raising the barrier of entry and making it more expensive for small actors to create AI tools.
Do foss models really matter? I’m pro foss and think proprietary software should be banned but these weights are essentially a compiled program, we have no idea what they do
Some are foss in the sence its free. But u do have a point.
This all sounds smart to me. I’ll vote for it given the chance.
If it’s the same one from a few months ago, the wording is so vague that only huge companies with legal departments will be able to navigate the compliance maze they’ve set up.
what enriches lives:
- solving world hunger
- doing the taxes and other boring stuff
- translation
- replacing corrupt governments
- cheaper living
what we use AI for instead:
- making society, artists, already poor people poorer
- making life more complicated thanks to increased joblessness
- causing more polarisation and conflict
- helping corrupt governments
- more expensive living
why invent an AI that eats ice cream for you when instead, it should do the dishes and pass the butter?
Why is she claiming that the bill is about liability?
