All this song and dance to delay the inevitable death of "ad supported journalism" by a few more months.

Can't wait for open source AI to catch up and watch all these "safeguards" crumble down. Although I have a sinking feeling that they'll be in cahoots with the congress by then, protecting us from all those unauthorized non-OpenAI-bot scariness.

Other countries exist. You can ban something in Country A, but that won't stop it happening in Country B.

To assume that only Country C can possibly have the knowledge/skills/expertise to do cutting edge LLM work is short-sighted and hubris at its worse

If the ai doomers win then Nvidia will become nationalized and compute power will be heavily regulated, preventing any individual from having local ai.

That's a huge bit of stretch, US congress doesn't control the rest of the world. General US public will either be left behind or VPN subscriptions will rise.
