Steal all of the data from everyone, do not give credit for anything, take all of the money, enable wars, make massive job loss and bring back recession but take none of the blame.

^^^^
That should be a mission statement for OpenAI.

Of course he backed it up after creating weapons of mass destruction and job loss. OpenAI backs bill that would limit liability for AI-enabled mass Deaths or financial disasters. The ChatGPT-maker testified in favor of an Illinois bill that would limit when AI labs can be held liable even in cases where their products cause "critical harm". You mean like killing school kids/innocent people or taking away poor peoples jobs? Right? I can't believe this crap

I have said this before and I will say it again, it is time that taxpayers, who are the majority of regular folks in every country, should not pay a single penny to the likes of Microsoft. Taxpayer money should only go to FLOSS. Enough is enough with these big corporations. They have failed to protect user privacy and safety and obsessed with AI like teenagers.
