Build that moat! Build that moat!
It’s a win/win/lose scenario. LLM AI businesses benefit because it increases the effort required to compete in the LLM space (the moat). Governments benefit because it increases the power of daddy/mommy government.
Consumers and small businesses lose out due to (1) the more friction the less innovators entering the space and (2) the less innovators in the space the fewer companies get to control more of the money pie.
It’s as ridiculous as governments requiring a license to cut hair.
- sanderjd 3y agoOh come now, it's way less ridiculous than that. But I do agree that the current generation of industry leaders clamoring for this smells like the classic regulatory strategy of incumbents. I just think both things are true at once. This is a space that deserves thoughtful regulation. But that regulation shouldn't just be whatever OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google say it should be. (Though I'm sure that's what will happen.)
