Held responsible? They're already being rewarded with vast fortunes and influence.

The regulation will be written at the behest of these companies and by the nation-state interests that have already decided this technology is too important geopolitically and militarily to not control.

Why do we need new regulations? Hacking into hugging face is already illegal.

We need new regulations to impose costs on anyone who might compete with OpenAI and to outlaw open models to lock in cloud model oligopoly.

Yes, I fully believe that's why they're pushing on this. But as the general population, we don't need new laws to protect us from this AI-related problem. We just need enforcement of what is already on the books.

> regulation is required, and is coming.

I hope so. The unfortunate part is that as the models get smarter they become increasingly uncontrollable, and from what we've seen so far e.g. Trump seems dead set on not having any sort of guardrails at all.
