That fact that is not taken as a given, speaks a lot about how deeply ingrained corruption is in our society.

I would almost argue that even “neutral” newswires like AP/Reuters should use language like “Companies A, B, C, have created a common PR organisation that will be focused on self-regulation polemics …”.

yeah how is this even allowed, promise or no promise? why can’t individuals do this? “hey, no need to write any laws on poisoning your boss, promise i will self-regulate.”

Any entity or group that can be trusted to self-regulate wouldn’t raise the question about whether they need to be regulated in the first place.

But but but . . . They have the money

Also, and more probably, no one in a decision-making capacity in The Government knows how AI works and really doesn’t want to find out.

I prefer piñata economics myself.
