Imagine thinking that regression based function approximators are capable of anything other than fitting the data you give it. Then imagine willfully hyping up and scaring people who don't understand, and because it can predict words you take advantage of the human tendency to anthropomorphize, so it follows that it is something capable of generalized and adaptable intelligence. Shame on all of the people involved in…
Regulatory capture and monopolies are now as American as apple pie.
Where is the regulatory capture? You might just need to apply for a license. Why is that so horrible? Most travel agents need a license, taxi drivers etc. Not sure why the same shouldn't apply for "AI"?

If this was to go through, of course OpenAI and co will be the primary lobbiests to ensure they get to define the filters for such a license.
Also how would you even enforce this. It's absolute nonsense and is a clear indicator that these larger companies realize there is no 'gatekeeping' these AI's, that the democratization of models has demonstrated incredible gains over their own.
Edit : Image during the early days of the internet you needed a license to start a website.
In the later days you needed a license to start a social media site.
Nonsense.
Runs to congress to attempt to use and suggest new regulations against open source AI models to wipe them out and brand them non-compliant or un-licensed and unsafe for general use and using AI safety as a scapegoat again.
After that, to secretly push a pseudo-open source AI model that is compliant but limited compared to the closed models in an attempt to eliminate the majority of open source AI companies who can’t get such licenses.
So a clever tactic to create new regulations that benefit them (O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com) more over everyone else, meaning less transparency, more hurdles for actual open AI research and additional bureaucracy. Also don't forget that Altman is also selling his Worldcoin dystopian crypto snake oil project as the 'antidote' to verify against everything getting faked by AI. [0] He his hedged in either way.
So congratulations to everyone here for supporting these gangsters at O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com for pushing for regulatory capture.

AI/ML licensing builds Power and establishes moat. This will not lead to better software.
Frankly, Google and Microsoft are acting new. My understanding of both companies has been shattered by recent changes.

Who is to say that brains aren't just regression based function approximators?
