    Still can’t really hold them liable unless they deliberately sold a weapon to someone who legally was prohibited from having a weapon.

    That’s a very American point of view though - America isn’t holding those who create/sell tools that do bad things to account. If gun manufacturers were held responsible for how the things they created were used, you can bet anything suddenly they’d be hell of lot safer. Which is the exact same point about AI.

    (Obviously not holding manufacturers/sellers to account is not an America-only issue, but this article is about AI and the USA so that’s the example I’m using.)

    The bigger question is why did someone feel the need to kill others?

    As a non-American, I think the general question is why on earth does the general public need semi-automatic weapons. Or really, any weapons.

      I see the gun issue in America in the same light as the car issue. We’re in way too fucking deep, and it’s a part of our culture now. I hate both, but I acknowledge how difficult it is to do something about it.

          Making people do something they don’t wanna do is actually fairly difficult. I personally don’t drive or own a gun, but the people who do either tend to be pretty serious about it.
