People have a responsibility to balance freedom with safety as autonomous individuals.

The system has the responsibility to be accountable to the people.

By making sure the rules that we have to govern systems - which involves collectives of people, are fair. Governments: boards, committees, councils are also forms of government. There has to be organized structures that the people elect and hold accountable with some fair due processes for all the people, to work out disagreement. Theoretically we have that in all levels of government, but not the accountability piece. Better here than in the US but still lacking. We shouldn’t throw democracy out with the bath water. Right wing and left wing libertarians who tend to be extreme and averse to compromise, competing in one place. Community and all its subgroups who hold personal freedom above all else, actually create the conditions for authoritarianism to manage the chaos, I’ve learned. Then they decide who gets a voice and who doesn’t and the conflicting continues on a microcosmic level to a global level. No, I think we’re better trying to aim for fairness and transparency of the government systems we already have - the “bones” are there, the potential is still there, with more people getting civilly involved at their community level, for change - instead of reinventing the wheel only to lead to the same place eventually anyway. Either way, old structure repaired or whole new one, it’s dependent on the people participating.

Family members of the victims of one of Canada’s worst mass shootings are suing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman in a California court, and will likely be seeking more than US$1 billion in damages, a lawyer handling the case says.

Several lawsuits were filed in a San Francisco court on April 29, two-and-a-half months after the Feb. 10 shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., that left nine people dead and 27 injured.

The lawsuits allege wrongful death, negligence, and product liability, and accuse OpenAI leaders of aiding and abetting the shooting, saying they failed to notify police after flagging disturbing content from the shooter. It alleges the artificial intelligence company kept quiet because contacting the authorities would have revealed the extent of violence-related dialogue on its ChatGPT platform, potentially threatening the firm’s pursuit of a nearly $1 trillion initial public offering.

OpenAI is not yet a publicly traded company and has not officially filed its IPO paperwork, but it reached an $852 billion post-money valuation following a funding round that concluded in March.

The victims and their families also contend that OpenAI deliberately chose not to inform the police because implementing adequate safety measures to ChatGPT would result in a loss of market share for the company.

The plaintiffs also allege that the deactivation of the shooter’s account was deceptive because the company offered guidance on how users can create new accounts.
 
Another first today, borked my mind
sitting ootside Buddy's (our Pizza and jazz place) and I shift position and wince. A friend R asks what is the matter (he is a caring soul) and I say just pain. This other guy says maybe it is my time of the month. Christ. So I both feel kinda euphoria and the bloody stupid disrespectful misogyny of it. Jeeze
