Like, why does that matter? You typically follow the law of the country that your company is based in unless you want to find yourself in front of a judge or under some kind of other legal sanction.


I guess if it's supposed to be the brain for the world then yeah, I think it matters?

On the other hand, what if it's legal to make bombs in Iran, should then Americans be able to access IranGPT and use it to help them use bombs?


Civil and criminal law was never designed in such a way to be implemented by a brain of the world..., ok I take that back, A 'brain of the world, if it knew where you were could possibly tell you that the information is restricted and give you a "I can't do that dave message" based on your location.

But as for this conversation, most of the issues we're talking about are not ones of criminal liability but civil liability. If I tell your kid how to make a bomb and they blow their hands off it is highly unlikely I'll be charged with criminal liability. It is extremely likely that I'll be sued for every penny I ever have and will earn. Companies in the US are far more worried about civil liability than criminal, hence the joke "I'll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes one".
