*Addendum": The reason I want to see this happen is so that we can clearly affirm this responsibility chain. I don't think it's particularly legally contentious, I just don't think it's well understood.
I think that people need to see a public case of a human being prosecuted for the actions of their robots in order for this discussion to actually happen. Not just the public discourse, but also the individual questioning of responsibility. If a human knows that giving their keys to a robot leaves them responsible for the actions of that robot, that's going to change the mental calculus of those humans.
I think most of us on Mastodon have already done that mental calculus. But we're the exception not the rule here.

@gatesvp@mstdn.ca @mrotteveel@mstdn.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange @BLTpizza@mastodon.social I agree with you, but this isn't going to happen in the United States, where checks on corporate power and crimes are going unchecked. OpenAI is operating with impunity now where in previous decades they would have had the book thrown at them.
