Devs? Why not the billionaire owners and CEOs who are pushing ahead? Start with Doltman.

What will the devlopers do? Quit, when asked to work on AI? They will simply be replaced....

Edit: Apparently its entities. So guess they are also covered. Good.

Edit 2:

Many seem to be misinterpreting my comment.

I am not advocating for the xevs to be exempted. All I wanted to point out was that the decision makers and those in power should be the first ones to face the consequences.

Everyone else below them should be next in line.

Headline here seem to pass the buck onto the devs alone. That's what I was addressing.

Yeah, sure buddy. We're going to put a billionaire in prison. Uh huh.

Now, I am super curious. How many billionaires are in prison? There's Sam Bankman-Fried, who I read still has money stashed away in places nobody knows about. Anyone else?

Bernie Madoff was before he died in prison. You basically have to run a scam on other wealthy people to go to prison as a billionaire.

Isn't that sort of what they have going in Russia? It's fine to scam people and accept bribes, as long as you pay the right people and *don't* scam the right people (usually superiors or other wealthy people's proteges).

I was in prison with this guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirav_Modi

He's not looking as good as he looks in the pics btw, but I can confirm he has it very well.

Sam Bankman made a big mistake of stealing not only from the street but also from the wall street.

Everybody knows that if you steal from a common man, nothing will happen. But you just have to not be an idiot. It's a tiered justice system.

Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi would have also been billionaires before their countries received freedom and democracy.

Shkreli did a few years in prison

I’ve never looked into it but I suspect it was not the same type of prison the not-billionaires would go to

Yeah and he wasn’t a billionaire, ”only” a multi millionaire

Google's AI

"I'm sorry, in order to protect the privacy of the only people that matter to me, I can't answer that question. Have you tried putting glue on your pizza yet?"

Joe Nacchio was worth $1.2B and went to jail because he wouldn't let the NSA have full control of his phone network

I mean, if one of them tried to build a nuke, then probably

This is uber virtue signaling to his base who all think being anti-AI is a semi-religious imperative
