#52Imposing a licensing system on models for limiting domestic use should require an act of congress but I mean obviously we're well past that red line.
Do you remember the export controls on Covid vaccine material during the height of coronavirus? I do

#53Land of the free, land of the brave. Free market. Freedom of speech. Market economy. These words don’t mean what they use to anymore. Newspeak is in full swing. Words still sound the same and are written in the same way but now mean something completely different. If Mao and Stalin were alive, they would be nodding approvingly.
Free for me, not for thee!
I hope the Chinese models catch up soon so I can stop contributing to the American economy.

Fairly certain all those have "acts of congress" attached to them. I mean, it used to take a constitutional amendment to make something illegal but now we have tons of agencies responsible for regulating all the things. Plus, they're relying on the "math is a weapon" law to ban "export" of the models.
It has never taken a constitutional amendment to make something illegal.
Prohibition was the 18th amendment

#56And we get the news the same time OpenAI releases 5.6. What a coincidence?
I think they kind of had to since they allowed OpenAI to do a 5.6 "preview to trusted parties" today. The other driver is that the DoD/NSA wanted to get access to Mythos again. I figure OAI will now do several weeks of 'preview' like Anthropic did with Mythos. When OAI wants to release 5.6 wider to actually start making money with it, I expect Fable will get approved the same day.
Back when the administration hit Mythos/Fable with the surprise ban, I figured this would be the endgame. They'd keep Anthropic tied up until a competitor had a roughly comparable model ready, then gate them the same.

Startups don't have as much money to spend on lobbying and gifts, though.
Will startups be even a thing now that the VCs obviously just need to funnel all their money to 2 or so companies ad-infinitum for guaranteed returns.
The single most important question to be discussed on this website right now.

#58Congrats sama. Such a great sophisticated 5d chess move.

#59I understand why Anthropic might not want to fight this particular one in court, because they're trying to convince the administration to let them move forward.
But would another company who is not on the trusted partner list and has less to lose taking on the admin have standing to sue here? On the basis of the export control being illegal and this putting their business at a disadvantage vs. competitors with access

#60Wowee, just happens to be on the same day of OpenAI's Sol announcement. How convenient for Dario and Anthropic!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Feels like someone is playing a high-stakes game, putting on a show involving the US government.
This should perhaps not be surprising considering the president.
