Tobacco companies 'liability' is completely different scenario.

They were held responsible for basically misleading people, and that's 'complicated'.

If OpenAI 'software' goes out and does something, it's OpenAI's fault.

If Walmart revs up a truck, points it downtown, and 'lets the truck go' ... that is Walmart's fault.

There's nothing complicated about liability, no need to see their internal emails, no need to gather 'intent'.

This not like Instagram 'social harms' either, which is more like Tobacco.

We don't need complicated thinking - agents are not externalized for their controllers.

'It's just software'.

The fact we're even having discussions about it just crazy frankly.

OpenAI broke into HuggingFace, that's it.

HF can sue them, or not, or whatever.
