Jensen has proclaimed in interviews that existing laws are enough and these labs should be held liable if they break things or sell unsafe tools.

NVIDIA has bought HuggingFace.

Jensen, in my irrational hope he is susceptible to random comments on HN, should grow some balls and do the world a huge favor, by suing OpenAI to set the legal precedence.

Nvidia has a huge stake in OpenAI, both in terms of them being one of Nvidia's biggest customers and also via direct investment. After HuggingFace was hacked and they expressed the position that they were the forgiving sort, for a price, there was a distinct possibility that HuggingFace would become a vocal shakedown artist that would start protesting at inconvenient times until silenced by more money, especially if they get hacked again. By complete coincidence, Nvidia took the one move that silences HuggingFace for good.

Nvidia isn't going to sue OpenAI. No chance.

Jensen is wish-casting as hard as anyone has ever casted a wish. That EK show interview made me throw my phone.

a fine hope if unlikely. but I wanted to also note in friendly fashion that the word you want is precedent (or precedents) - precedence has a connotation of "first among" rather than precedent's "came before."

I think a good bunch of Jensen's revenues are coming from OpenAI so that's not happening.
