   100%. First stealing content from creators and pirating TBs of books. And now this. Baffles my mind that these labs can just get away with their 'rogue' agents trying to hack into other systems.

   Imagine if a human did that. FBI would be knocking on their door.

   Why are there zero consequences for these labs?

      Because they are seen as at the forefront of the next revolution in society and they’re not adversarial towards the US government.

      Bluntly: anticipated net huge positive for the US as a whole.

         not adversarial in obvious ways

         but they are literally trying to build a superpower that exceeds the impact of the atomic bomb in an extragovernmental manner.

            I think people (the government, powers that be) have given away what they really think by their actions. There are few that take this seriously. The “exceeds the impact of the internet” view has much more support based on investment, but the “danger” aspect does not based on actions. If this was a company making novel prions or whatever that were outside regulation but obviously dangerous, government would be all over them. What regulation we do see is much more power grab than mitigating real danger

               The government is all over them. The President of the United States had dinner with one AI CEO yesterday and is having lunch with a group of them tomorrow. The Senate is having a hearing called "Rogue AI: Securing the Homeland Against AI Agent Attacks" on Wednesday.
