   Either there are humans directing this, in which case they needed to be held accountable, or OpenAI has lost control of their operation, in which case they are not able to ensure the safety of their products and need to be shut down.

      Jensen recently argued for this. It’s radically decel in fact.

      Who is going to shut them down, and under what law?

         They could be charged with a number of felonies under existing law for the hugging face incident alone. We’d need a DOJ that was competently staffed and free from corruption, so the answer to your question is “no one”.

                  &gt; The CFAA prohibits intentionally accessing a computer

                  I doubt there is intent here, in the eyes of the law.

                     Doing it without intention drops the maximum sentence from 10 years in prison to 5 years in prison; read the thing instead of skimming it.
