No, I'm not talking about the individuals, I'm talking about the company. Internally they can create their own accountability structures as appropriate. But publicly OpenAI has to be responsible for its agent swarms.

The narrative that AI is so smart that it has its own agency and deserves personhood is a direct path to losing control, and essentially is another form of privatizing the upside while socializing the downside.

Unfortunately I think this game is already lost. OAI may be punished, but some shell of OAI will exist by support of governments that have chased the dragon and saw its power. Cyberpunk-esq digital weaponry is just way too attractive for governments for them to stop development at this point. We'll just see it get financed by black budgets once the commercial part of it dies.
