> We should be outraged and OpenAI/Anthropic should be (and in my mind, are) legally liable for the crimes they've committed thus far.
How would that work out if these were self-hosted open weight models?

Of course in cases of negligence a tool maker could also be held partially liable. That’s a matter courts can decide. The main point is we shouldn’t jump to making special laws around the development of LLMs. The starting place should be enforcement of existing liability laws. New laws take time and will be heavily influenced by AI companies seeking a regulatory moat for their business. Moreover, it is a distraction from the illicit behavior that is already going unchecked.
