Y'all just need to read the executive order (or at least the white house fact sheet) itself it's got way more stuff than this article covers and to my eyes is overwhelmingly positive. It's like the white house read all of the complaints people on HN have had about inappropriate uses of LLms and bundled them into one huge omnibill telling every federal agency to stop people from behaving recklessly with AIs that are are mirror of the average Redditor.
Outside of reporting that you're working on a new huge model and some maybe down the road future NIST guidelines they don't actually restrict the production of models at all. It's all about telling the humans jumping on the move fast break things train that no you can't use these tools for for <obviously dystopian thing> like renter screening, price fixing, and judicial sentencing.
Good on the white house for recognizing that the harm these models produce is almost entirely the humans connecting them to the real world.

- junofan 3y agoYou’re making a huge assumption about NIST’s implementation. Generally people like the goals of regulation. They might not like the implementations. I’d prefer to see strategic action on concrete issues rather than perceived risks. I don’t see how tasking a bunch of government agencies with pontificating on new and unfamiliar technologies can produce a good result.
