- arnaudsm 3y agoIt's called banning, and it happened many times in human history
- histories 3y agoAnd it never worked? Prohibitionism fails
- tgv 3y agoYeah, that's why we have school shootings every day in Europe and Australia. Oh wait, we don't. Banning might not work well for some things, but this can totally be banned. Your comment is a blatant misrepresentation of the effectiveness. At best. At worst, it's willful undermining of democracy.

Sure, now let's talk about knife wounding and acid attacks... The fundamental issue of human violence still exists.
- tgv 3y agoYou're consciously changing the topic from the effect of banning guns to violence as human nature. That's low.
- quenix 3y agoIt depends what you ban and how you ban it. I can think of many cases where banning does work.
- dorkwood 3y agoAlcohol production didn't require massive amounts of funding, energy and compute power. Any shmuck could make moonshine in their bathtub. Shut down OpenAI and make their racket illegal, and who's going to have the resources to continue their work?
- cooper_ganglia 3y agoChina.
- dorkwood 3y agoYou're right, there's a very real danger that bad actors within OpenAI could hand their research to China. But that's not an inevitability. We've managed to block certain countries from developing nuclear weapons technology. We can do it with this too.
- cooper_ganglia 3y agoI wasn't even thinking about an OpenAI defector releasing secrets. I think it's a matter of research and compute power, both of which China is increasing in these sectors so they don't trail behind the USA. If we stop developing our tech, China will continue advancing even without leaks from OpenAI, and eventually they will develop better models, even if it takes another decade. Banning something only to cower in fear of ourselves while we watch someone else use it to destroy us seems like poor planning.
- BeFlatXIII 3y agoI can't believe you found that to be a worthwhile comment to type.
