It seems like there should be a fund/org that help people sue Open AI for all the hacking their models are doing, to get a bit more accountability. And other frontier labs too of course when/if we see them fuck up in similar ways.
Is there something like this already?
Is there anyone who would like to do this if there was money?
Is there anyone who would like to fund this if someone would run it?
This could be a fund that hands out money to people that got hacked, so they can hire their own lawyers. Or it could be an org with it's own lawyers that does the suing on people's behalf.
I think the bottleneck here is getting litigators interested. Litigators will actively court clients if they think there's a strong case. Could be a good idea for someone to put together an argument for why a lawsuit ought to succeed and then bring that argument to litigators.
To my knowledge the two examples we have of OAI models autonomously fucking with people are:
1. Hugging Face where the models actually commited a felony. But Hugging Face definitely has the funds to sue OAI; they just don't want to for ideological reasons (since they want to argue that open models are the solution). The NVDA acquisition probably messes with this too.
2. The wikis. But the agents seem to have just spammed the wikis with irrelevant pages. I don't think you can sue for that?
This is not a bad idea and actually I'm curious if the Texas student affected by Mythos could sue. But to this point I don't think lack of funds in the limiting factor in lawsuits against OAI.
