This is a well-articulated response to the SB-1047 bill. I want to underscore the undercurrent of the message — that with the proposed regulations on creators, it will accomplish the opposite of what it is intended to do. The landscape will be less open and diverse, handing the power to a few. Another point that gets buried is that AI is about the data. Without the transparency of what these models are built from, it leads to potential dangers as well as inappropriate use of materials. My bet is on the open ecosystem if it doesn’t get legislated away.

> The landscape will be less open and diverse, handing the power to a few. Proponents of the regulation approach probably wouldn't state it this way, but if I'm understanding their arguments correctly, I think they want that, because regularing a few very powerful corporations is easy. Regulating a ton of small people/startups is hard. When you genuinely believe that some of the output from LLMs is literally dangerous to some people, it's not unreasonable to decide that the "freedom" of people to run and develop models to compete is unimportant compared to protecting society from dangerous text or images.
