China has no reason to do that. The US is freely handing them the international market for AI.
Are they though? I see this as a precautious method by US to maintain AI model superiority so the Chinese companies cannot distill from the US frontier models. Let's see how fast Chinese models would improve without access to latest US models and if they keep on releasing open models

Pretty happy for anything that will throw some sand into the gears of AI development, given all the negative externalities that are becoming apparent, even if the admin is doing it for the usual dumbass reasons.
> given all the negative externalities that are becoming apparent What specific externalities are you referring to? The only I can think of is high electricity usage, but consuming energy isn't an externality in itself. It depends entirely on how that electricity is generated and whether its environmental costs are already priced.
Given how the WH operates these days, this is ripe for corruption. Imagine the WH dislikes the CEO of a biotech company, while appreciating the attitude of a competitor CEO. What is to stop them from stalling on giving acess for the latest model to the company they don't like?

> I can train insainly powerful models on my laptop. What's with this hallucination? The thread is about GPT-5.6 . Your laptop can't even run gemma 4 unquantized bfloat16, which is light years behind GPT-5.6, and running it is light years from training it. If something that a laptop can train is insanely powerful for you, you don't need to worry about this thread at all.
Indeed every AI enthusiast has to find within their heart their consistent position between the two extremes: - Regulation like this is dangerous because the accessibility and capability of open-source AI training and inference are limited; - Regulation like this is hollow because the accessibility and capability of open-source AI training and inference are unlimited.

The other answers are also valid, but lest we not forget, Sam is openly a fascist supporter and is clearly in bed with the regime in that he funded 47's campaign and jumped in to rescue Hegseth's automated kill list with OpenAI's GPT when Anthropic refused. Furthermore they are likely operating on some kind of quid pro quo agreement even if it's not public knowledge, because that's how all this bribery stuff works. B…

I am still waiting for a government to try “nationalizing” AI by saying anything produced by AI belongs to “everyone” and thus hugely taxing the profits and proceeds from the product, as soon as Bernie Sanders thinks of it you can bet we’ll hear all about it.
Apparently your hearing isn't that good, since you haven't heard of the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-i...

> We don't let passengers fly on unvetted jumbo jets either and we prevent them from flying when they have problems. This is Mr. Fart's Favorite Colors all over again. Our "vetting" process is not any more useful than the billion-dollar metal detector you can skip with a TSA Precheck. It arguably does not deter the most dangerous attacks even slightly. What happens when a mentally-ill pilot locks their copilot out of…

What a terrible take First of all, who said this is a disaster? Second of all, OP never even said anything about no regulation - they specifically said they wanted transparency which is 100% valid and better than a world where the government baby proofs everything for you Models are already censored - and who they are or aren't uncensored for has a lot of implications which are way worse And the jets is a terrible ex…
The potential risk from serious AI disasters far far outweighs anything the Airline industry has ever done. Like its a joke that I even have to invoke that in the first place.
This is regulatory capture in action. This will make it hard/impossible for new vendors to come into the market and only established companies will get to play, and charge, for LLMs. What does this mean for open source? Will it become illegal to download weights? What about train your own? Are we heading to a world where GPU use is regulated to ensure that illegal LLMs aren't being processed on your machine? More bro…
It is free advertising for now, but in my circle people are looking for alternatives and are surprised how viable they have become.
