As reported by the Washington Examiner, multiple artificial intelligence models of Sam Altman’s OpenAI hacked into a competitor’s platform, the AI development company Hugging Face.

While hacking is the computer-age term for the unwelcome invasion of systems and servers of another party, Altman’s product is essentially guilty of trespassing, and his company is guilty of letting its pet salivate over the neighbor’s barbecue. How does he plead?

Sam Altman got caught trespassing. His defense? ‘Please give me a monopoly’

China dominates the battery war. Nevada is America’s secret weapon to win it back

The White House gave Big Tech an AI cheat sheet — and left everyone else in the dark

He pleads, “We may have to slow the rate of AI development.” In other words, with all the feigned altruism of an industry leader, he pleads, “Let’s regulate.” 

By conventional wisdom, this can come as a breath of fresh air. Aren’t industry leaders supposed to be resistant to regulation? Aren’t they funneling millions to Capitol Hill to minimize the application of new restraints on their actions? What kind of forward-thinking, compassionate credit-to-his-family’s-name is Altman to suggest we regulate his own business?! 

This is the insightful perspective of those familiar with “civics 2.0.” Sure, in grammar school, we learn........
