What a fucking joke. I am voting libertarian if i bother to vote at all. They're against AI regulation.
I lean libertarian but I'm very much in favor of AI regulation

#12Alarming how many people think that the development of AI should have…no government oversight? Are none of you familiar with history?

#13Let's shoot US innovation and leadership in the foot by establishing random limits on foundation model research. According to EO's guidelines on commpute, something like GPT4 probably falls under reporting guidelines. Also, in the last 10 years GPU compute capabilities grew 1000x. What will be happening even 2 or 5 years from now? Edit: yes, regulations are necessary but we should regulate applications of AI, not fun…

Better than companies doing their own thing and not having any restrictions or oversight at all. Remember that those companies will get rid of some portion of their workers as soon as they think an AI can do most of that work. Heck, they did layoffs and started hiring again without any advancements. You can't trust companies to self-regulate.
I'm sure China and Russia and Iran and all those other nations will 100% see the value of artificially restricting their AI efforts as well because of the risk of harm, and be socially responsible global citizens, that won't exploit this edge for thier own geopolitical agenda.
China’s government is extremely interested in restricting their AI efforts because they don’t want it to contradict the Communist party.

#15Regulatory capture in action right before our eyes. Fears of Skynet are going to lead us to a cyberpunk dystopia where only large corporations have any access to powerful AI. What a bizarre time to be alive

#16> Specifically, USAISI will facilitate the development of standards for safety, security, and testing of AI models, develop standards for authenticating AI-generated content, and provide testing environments for researchers to evaluate emerging AI risks and address known impacts.
I have been afraid of over-regulation of AI but standards and testing environments don't sound so bad.
It does not sound like they are implementing legal regulations that will protect incumbents at the expense of AI innovation, at least at this point.

#17Great way to understand how all this works is watching All-In Summit: Bill Gurley presents 2,851 Miles[1]. Basically, regulate your competition into the ground. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9cO3-MLHOM
Great way to understand how all this works is listening to Behind the Bastards: The Deadliest Workplace Disaster in U.S. History[1]. Basically, don't regulate anything until a bunch of poor people die.

Edit: To elaborate, it's pretty easy to cherry-pick cases of either over and under regulation and use that to "prove" either side of the argument. There's nothing in the Bill Gurley talk that provides any insight into whether AI should be regulated or not because it doesn't directly engage with issues around AI specifically. Instead, it just says: "tech regulation bad".

US leadership was literally asking for this.

And when these countries overtake the US, the same people who brought AI regulations in the US will cry foul could when we regulate AI products from overseas.

Yeah people bringing up China as if it's some bastion of freedom in comparison to us are hilarious.
