> get some smart people from various agencies that are trustworthy, have them use the openAI playground and see what can be accomplished

This is a punt to committee. Likely what this meeting will result in. It’s as performative as it’s useless.

Suggestions of pauses have always been a farce. But I’m struggling to see solutions from experts, apart from constant predictions of generic doom. (I’m in favour of a domestic registry, so we know who’s training what on which data. Maybe a copyright safe harbour in exchange for registration?)

The other side is competitiveness: what can the federal government do to make America the best place to build AI? (I'm continually drawn to the Heavy Press Program [1], the era's massive forging presses being loosely analogous to modern training costs.)
