   Take out the word "AI", and this is simply an organization's (OpenAI's) products causing real damage to all of these platforms around the world.

   You want AI labs to pace? Simply hold them liable for their products.

      Yes exactly. If a fireworks factory blew up half a town due to negligence, it doesn't matter if there's intent or not. Someone has to pay for the damages, and regardless of penalty half the town is on fire. The facts are, that something made by openai went to do xyz. It doesn't matter if it's an accident. Of course the penalties are different but there's no argument that there should be a penalty. It doesn't matter if it's a cat or dog or AI or employee that did it.

         I'm not sure if you're expressing how you'd like US law to work, or how it actually works. Because in reality intent matters enormously. Like felony charges and people in jail vs civil lawsuits.

            doesn't the reasoning trace provide "intent"?
