- HumblyTossed 4mo agoYup, regulatory capture.
- theptip 4mo agoBut in this model, there is no regulator, there is just the Whitehouse deciding who gets to use the AI. Nobody has “captured” Trump here.
- mips_avatar 4mo agoThe problem is they've convinced mainstream people that a model that can find a bug in Microsoft Windows is a bigger problem than Microsoft not caring about fixing it.
- Avicebron 4mo agoI would really like to know how much of the anti AI sentiment is really just general economic precariousness mixed with seeing inequality skyrocket while the average persons material reality in the US is decreasing.. We really need to disentangle the technology from the economic inequality everyone is pissed about.
- forshaper 4mo agoThe nyancat is out of the bag.
- wqaatwt 4mo agoIt’s going to be a bit trickier to do that, even banning US providers from hosting them legally might be tricky to do.
- mips_avatar 4mo agoI think it's going to be like DMCA, like hard to convict you for having the files but distributing them might be illegal
- dzonga 4mo agodamn, never thought about this - but yeah this is where we are heading. open weight models - will be deemed too risky to be out in the open - since they can be abused by "bad actors" (unwashed masses)

- theturtletalks 4mo agoI wouldn’t be surprised if they started going after open-source as a whole and labeling it “communism” like the old Microsoft days.
- helterskelter 4mo agoSo much of everybody's infra depends on FOSS. I think every industry giant would dogpile whichever politician tried to go after FOSS as a whole.
- theturtletalks 4mo agoThe government could give those companies exemptions or give them time to LLM-wash that open-source code directly into their code so they have no dependencies. Those companies will be thrilled because they got the benefit of open-source and now are throwing down the ladder.
- anthk 4mo agoGood luck fighting the FSF and the GPL. The whole industry would crumble tomorrow if anyone dared. 1929 would be a joke in comparison.
- peder 4mo ago100% this is the direction all govts will go. This isn't specific to any political party, it's just about communications control. I don't think open source models will be directly capped, necessarily, but all commercial/easy-to-setup models will be heavily regulated.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4mo agoThe EU bans ASML for American chip use. America bans intel and amd from exporting chips. Whats next.
- notnullorvoid 4mo agoBanning next gen open models would never happen globally, and would be a major disadvantage to any country that does. If the USA continues to put barriers into the release of models, open and/or foreign models will start to out perform them. If open models are competitive enough nothing will stop even US companies from running them locally.
