* Maybe Anthropic's call for regulation has backfired. Now it's going to be overregulation. They might regret it now.

* This might be regulatory capture for OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Any new entrant will have a harder time getting approval.

* This is going to be terrible for the industry in general because this administration will not hesitate to demand bribes and force their propaganda into the models.

* This might cause the US to ban the use of Chinese models for US businesses and governments. After all, Chinese models won't need white house approval to release. So the only way to "control" them is to simply make them illegal.

A worst case scenario I feel is that the government could restrict inference providers within the US to run only approved/American LLMs, which would be a huge deal since the only recent American OSS model is Gemma. I could see OpenAI/Anthropic/Google lobbying for that though…

China doesn't require permission from the White House.

Mind elaborating instead of vague posting? Are you saying that China is already doing that vetting or that China will benefit because they can release models faster without having to be blocked by WH vetting?

They will have to "correctly" answer who is the best president, is the straight of Hormuz blocked, and how tall should the ballroom be.

Also answer “correctly” who won the 2020 presidential election

And Jan 6 revisionism, ie not mentioning that the sitting president attempted a coup to steal an election

My thought as well. They will approve every new American trained LLM but they can't control the release of free Chinese LLMs. Therefore, the only card they can play is to simply make Chinese LLMs illegal to use for American companies and Americans.

Ultimately, this will grant more power to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google due to regulatory capture but it hurts the AI industry overall.

How the fuck would this even be enforced? "AI model" is a pretty broad thing; in some sense basically anything involving weights could be considered "AI", and even more abstractly you could argue that even a runtime conditional is AI.

Honestly, if we are discussing the „how“ I feel that we are already ceding too much ground. Whatever technical solutions exist it is a terrible precedent
