I have been talking about this for months. OpenAI fights regulation where it can and every photo of a high ranking official with Sam Altman should be seen as a threat.

TimeExclusive: OpenAI Lobbied the E.U. to Water Down AI RegulationBy Billy Perrigo

Fun fact: This argument of OpenAI is in direct contradiction to Sam Altman's whole "existential threat of AGI" narrative. It's all bullshit.

Still, OpenAI’s lobbying effort appears to have been a success: the final draft of the Act approved by E.U. lawmakers did not contain wording present in earlier drafts suggesting that general purpose AI systems should be considered inherently high risk. Instead, the agreed law called for providers of so-called “foundation models,” or powerful AI systems trained on large quantities of data, to comply with a smaller handful of requirements including preventing the generation of illegal content, disclosing whether a system was trained on copyrighted material, and carrying out risk assessments. OpenAI supported the late introduction of “foundation models” as a separate category in the Act, a company spokesperson told TIME.

@chrisg @tante And the all important, use regulation to establish and expand your moat. This is all so insufferable.

@tante The worst outcome we can get is that the development of open-source models will no longer be feasible (because of restrictions), while at the same time, regulations of companies are not regulatory enough... I think this "sweet spot" is most attractive to big tech. Regulations to protect their interests.

@BZoennchen @tante "regulatory capture." Gasoline is dangerous, better make sure you're only allowed to touch it if you have ten mil in the bank and corrupt politician approval

@tante openai is basically a Peter Thiel organization. Everything about it should be seen as a threat.
