<title>Then, On Language Models</title>
-<para>The <emphasis>mode of existence</emphasis> of LM dictates that they in principle do not control resources.
-This mode of existence is entirely identical to small neural networks that existed 20 years ago.
-Any perceived control is provided by the agent framework installed by a human.

+This <emphasis>mode of existence</emphasis> of LM is entirely identical to small neural networks that existed 20 years ago.
Auditing is possible and necessary with LMs, unlike with embodied AI.
-However, irresponsible entities who overuse agents simply don’t bother to audit, and some even write news articles claiming “LMs spontaneously lose control”.

+Irresponsible entities who overuse agents simply don’t bother to audit, and some even write news articles claiming “LMs spontaneously lose control”.
This is an extremely malicious lie.</para>
<para>Corporations living off LMs need to install this lie, at least in the US.
If they can get the legal system to determine that LM is truly something new that existing law has not caught up with, then the they would not have to bear the liability that would have applied before the special legislation.
However, if the legal system recognizes that LM is not fundamentally new, then the corporations will be held fully liable for everything that happened during this period of intense, irresponsible competition.
-Therefore, LM corporations are doing everything they can to portray LM as a genuine form of AI, or at least reduce the possibility of traditional litigation.
+Therefore, LM corporations are doing everything they can to portray LM as a genuine form of AI, or otherwise reduce the possibility of traditional litigation.
If you support special legislation regarding AI without having thought about a full enforcement of existing laws first, you attention has been diverted.</para>
<para>A special legislation does not solve any metaphysical problem as portrayed, because the metaphysical problem of embodied AI does not exist.
-A special legislation now in the US can only confirm or redistribute responsibility.</para>
+A special legislation now in the US can only confirm or redistribute responsibility that already has a place in the framework.</para>
<para>Because LMs have been successful and justice has yet to arrive, capital has naturally been invested in LMs rather than in embodied AI.
Currently, the only thing we need to worry about is malicious and irresponsible ordinary humans.
-We need to dispel the lie that LMs can spontaneously do bad things.</para>
