You have fallen victim to what is known as “marketing”.

What a terrible take

First of all, who said this is a disaster?

Second of all, OP never even said anything about no regulation - they specifically said they wanted transparency which is 100% valid and better than a world where the government baby proofs everything for you

Models are already censored - and who they are or aren't uncensored for has a lot of implications which are way worse

And the jets is a terrible example - you picked one of THE highest regulated industries where NOBODY has a problem with regulation

> We don't let passengers fly on unvetted jumbo jets either and we prevent them from flying when they have problems.

This is Mr. Fart's Favorite Colors all over again. Our "vetting" process is not any more useful than the billion-dollar metal detector you can skip with a TSA Precheck. It arguably does not deter the most dangerous attacks even slightly. What happens when a mentally-ill pilot locks their copilot out of the cockpit? Well, we write off a crowd of passengers and then "vet" the next jet as a safe vehicle.

AI will be the same way. These "safety" measures are performative and do not even slightly address the actual threat surface of the technology. Arguably, it cannot even be done.
