“big tech glad the government regulates competition out of existence” would be a better headline. Everyone involved in passing this shit deserves to be hung.

Biden announced that his administration has secured voluntary commitments

So what’s the enforcement mechanism when these companies break these commitments? This sounds like it was just a big marketing event for tech companies.

Without bothering to read the article or investigate I’m going to say absolutely nothing. Because without legislation and steep fines they will do what they want. But if they’re under scrutiny they might try to be less blatant and hide it better so there’s that, I guess.

The four tech giants, along with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and startups Anthropic and Inflection, have committed to security testing “carried out in part by independent experts” to guard against major risks, such as to biosecurity and cybersecurity, the White House said in a statement.

That testing will also examine the potential for societal harms, such as bias and discrimination, and more theoretical dangers about advanced AI systems that could gain control of physical systems or “self-replicate” by making copies of themselves.

The companies have also committed to methods for reporting vulnerabilities to their systems and to using digital watermarking to help distinguish between real and AI-generated images or audio known as deepfakes.

These commitments are faster to secure while slower steps like creating regulations through laws can come after.

I don’t disagree, but voluntary agreements really mean nothing. If we were talking about companies with a good track record then sure, but webare talking about companies with a track record of deception and unsavory activities.

Is the alternative that we do nothing in the short term while we wait for new laws? Sure voluntary agreements may not be fully enforced but even if one of these companies followed some of those restrictions then I’d say that it worked.

We need a more up to date government that actually understands technology, the history of these companies and their practices. Until we get that government, this is all just fluff. Unfortunately in the back of my mind, it’ll take decades before we get one and for now these tech companies have been running wild knowing that our current government has absolutely zero understanding of technology.
