from here:

OpenAI, which has tapped the world’s second-largest insurance broker Aon for help, has secured cover of up to $300mn for emerging AI risks,

1. nice to see that at least someone dealing with these loons still has their shit grounded in reality

2. I wonder what is quantified as “emerging risks” under that policy structure - I’d bet it’s not the same stuff the cultists are worried about

either way, more please!

I am jack’s completely and utterly unsurprised face

hmm I'm not aware of one beyond general "obstructionism" but that probably is a thing that needs a word
