Hold the manufacturer equally liable. Easy.

The shenanigans AI companies have been up to recently (including boasting about criminal behaviour hacking other companies) without repercussions is pretty good proof that it isn't "easy".

  • Why? It is easy.

    Anthropic has paid out an awful lot of money settling piracy suits.

    An example where no one attemped to hold anyone liable isn't a counterexample to what happens when we do.

"here at waymo we hire a list of fall guys who will go to jail if one of our cars hits someone. its a great job, just like being oncall"

  • Sure, and in China some companies do exactly that.

    I can't find evidence of it working in the US. Gets hard to pay fall guys when all company assets have been seized in court judgements.
