If that were true Musk would have to answer for a lot of CP
maybe if the president of the USA weren't a raging child rapist…
Even then nothing would happen because modern day capitalists are like kings and kings don't get held accountable.
Only princes do, and only when they're super old and have ruined countless lives. After that, they're sentenced to being treated as royalty while being addressed like a normal: a fate worse than death!
The agents are the user end of things. It's not saying the AI companies are responsible, it's saying whoever used the AI it responsible.
The big companies have too much money to be held responsible for crimes.
That was most likely true even before "AI"!
He is rich tho.
