This is the most lazy 'research' I've seen so far to bring answers to regulation.

Now that makes sense.
But seriously, how it the Government supposed to regulate how much computing power you use, its a ridiculous idea.
> The recommendation to outlaw the open-sourcing of advanced AI model weights, they expect, will not be popular. “Open source is generally a wonderful phenomenon and overall massively positive for the world,”
Honestly the proposed solutions sound like the first brown bag session of ideas in the lunch room. If I was the government who commissioned this, I would want my money back.

- bilekas 3y agoHmm, well intentioned but not a valid solution of course to any global technology, given the level of lobbying that the AI front-runners already do.. I don't see that inspiring people to even try in the US. Probably moving to other markets to get ahead without any interference from the US Fed. (They actually correctly do touch on these topics in the article)
