- Aeolos 26d agoDid you miss the Anthropic and OpenAI blog posts screeching for regulation?
- eloisant 26d agoYes, now that they are in place they want to put barriers for new entrants.
- stanac 26d agoDidn't both Amodei and Altman called for regulation of open-weight models? Not that long ago on xitter....
- notahacker 26d agoThey've both been insisting that humanity's survival is contingent on regulation since the start and employ armies of lobbyists to try to shape the policies they want that hold significant sway in their own country. But of course Americans doing this is smart and entrepreneurial...
- oblio 26d agoMeh, OpenAI and Anthropic are doing the same. The US shtick is "our models are too powerful, government, please hold them back (and buy 10% of the company)". Edit: forgot, they also call for banning Chinese models and open weights models...
- jryle70 25d agoAh, "Americans are awful. Now we can be just awful" > they also call for banning Chinese models and open weights models... So I guess Anthropic called for banning Chinese models when they said "but let me state it clearly so that there is no doubt: Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models."? - [0] May be they imply it? They work behind the scene for it? well, who knows. My guess is as good as yours. But since we're acting like a child, bending the truth is allowed? By the way, China is decisive. They just banned outright Claude and Open AI. I guess no open arguments about regulation is good?

- oblio 25d agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49599059 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49599059 > I would just ban US software companies like China did (I'd obviously also ban Chinese software companies, too). The resulting chaos would end up with some pretty solid EU software companies, the know how is there. I'm all for following positive examples, as long as we keep democracy. We don't need to copy everything, just the good parts.
