I can’t abide the Altman/Amodei/et al stance that they’re the wide-eyed stewards of their LLMs, doing their level best to steer these free-standing entities – which they can’t be expected to fully control, nor be fully responsible for – in a fruitful and positive direction. You designed some software, and it’s entirely on you what that software does to the world. If you designed-in an inability to control it properly, maybe you should have thought about that earlier – but either way it shouldn’t relieve you of any of the legal or moral responsibility that would apply to any other product designer.
