@mimsical Counter: "using #AI the way most commentators expect" is already far from the most common use case today, and will be less and less in importance.

Section 230 doesn't apply to e.g. automated pipelines of internal documents and using #LLMs for it doesn't change that.

@tante @pettter OpenAI’s annualized revenue is $1.6B and growing fast.

@tante Annualizing is not dodgy for a subscription business that’s not likely to be seasonal. It’s not cash flow but that’s fine given their deep pockets.

And sure, but customers are throwing money at them fast so they have a business case. Your original post seemed to question whether they had a market, not wether they were profitable despite the growth.

@Brendanjones @resuna @jamie @GeePawHill Because it's not an individual criminal liability. The problem is with the law, it's not that individuals are using companies to be shielded from criminal liability.

@resuna @Brendanjones @jamie @GeePawHill Ltd. doesn't shield you from criminal liability.

@Brendanjones We want to see usage data and behavior change. Sure getting a pass is nice but that's not the goal.

@thomasfuchs @maya @clive What's that book? 🤩
