Indeed, I find quite ironic that some people in tech in the US complain about EU "regulations first" approach, but then their government seem to arbitrarily stop things from being released because, well, there is no established policy on safety guarantees or other similar aspects.

> there is no established policy on safety guarantees Which is the government’s own fault. Elon Musk talked back in 2018 about how he went to Washington and met with Obama and Congress, but they did nothing. In 2020 Andrew Yang’s entire run for president was centered around the risk of AI displacing job. He lost, no one did anything. A couple years later we say the consumer facing LLMs start to roll out. Still, no on…

In your opinion, what was the appropriate action you believe should have been taken in 2018?

Remember how China turned its tech industry into a smoking ruin - make making them all submit to political priorities: Ant Group: China halted Ant’s IPO and forced a restructuring Alibaba: China fined and politically disciplined Alibaba Didi: China punished Didi after its US listing by removing its apps, freezing users, forcing delisting Tutoring platforms: banned profit from core school-subject tutoring. Tencent gam…

80% of these are thriving in reality.

It's called ghosted, shadow banned, too sensitive / shitshow; Basically a multiplier of 0.1 is added to this post's ranking, or similar, and it will need thousands of upvote instead of hundreds to show. It's commonly applied silently to posts that simply don't look good or become a nightmare to manage the narrative of. It's a healthy way to manage a community while looking transparent. I think it's sucky and cheap, b…

If they do it, they should mark the post as such as give an explanation. Otherwise you never know if uncle "Sam" called and asked it to be treated as such.

no point really. if someone was forcing them to take this off the front page then they would probably just tell them to add that explanation to the thread as well

How many people are going to buy a $10-20K rigs to run these open models?

You’re talking $100k for entry level hw

Not really, look at this thread to see different options in the comments https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/N1OslM0Z8X

You could go as low as $2500 or go crazy the sky being the limit

20K won't buy you a rig for GPT 5.5

Well they don’t provide GPT 5.5 weights but GLM 5.2 is kind if close

I'm finding it extremely hard not to have a cynical perspective on all of this. There's an idea that I've been mapping onto this whole this, which could be called something like effective knowledge . Regular old knowledge is just information, or access to information. Effective knowledge is the integration of all that information into an understanding that can be acted upon. That requires things like time, money, and…

It's entertaining watching the whole world take steps to reduce reliance on the US and the US throwing arguments for it out like it's candy

What concrete steps have been taken?

Here's one from today my man

> the U.S. government would initially approve who gets access to its latest new release while AI companies and the administration work out a longer-term plan for regulation on the sector. So you're a new vendor with a GPT-5.6 or Mythos class model. How do you suppose the regulations are going to work? First you need to get on the list of companies that are allowed to release models, and then you need to have a whole…

> So you're a new vendor with a GPT-5.6 or Mythos class model. How do you suppose the regulations are going to work? First you need to get on the list of companies that are allowed to release models, and then you need to have a whole system for limiting access. Both are going to be hugely expensive, on top of training new models already being insanely expensive to begin with. So your thesis is that someone has the re…

In a perfectly spherical cow sort of way, everything is fungible and if you can get the resources to train a Mythos-grade model then you'll also have the resources to jump through all the legal hoops. Regulatory capture is a tale almost as old as capitalism though. History bears this out. Adding barriers to entry further entrenches the incumbents.
