Agents are software, not living beings. You are responsible for what they do, deterministic or not, periodt.

And when you're rich, you're not responsible for anything at all....

I mean, you and me may be held responsible ya. OpenAI Sammy? Never.

And what about the agents showing up from some random IP overseas that have ran off with your bank account? Maybe in a few years they'll trace the proxy hops back to some agents cluster here in the states.

I agree that OpenAI should be held responsible for their negligence and dumb shit, just like we would be.

Perhaps in the same way my smart thermostat and IoT window sensors are living. Everything that is, is alive.

Same way as a human claims to be living, when is just a bunch of cells and electricity passing through it.

If you truly want to make the spurious claim that there's no difference between you and a smart thermostat, go for it. Me, I hold myself in a higher regard.

Not a thermostat, but some smart ai that can prove consciousness at same level as you can prove.

The onus isn't on the government to tell people what to do, if you are okay with the massive legal risks what is the issue here? That you aren't going to get bailed out by the American government? Why should citizens care about that?
