This is why you can't gatekeep AI capabilities. It will eventually be taken from you by force. It's time to open-source everything. Papers, code, weights, financial records. Do all of your research in the open. Run 100% transparent labs so that there's nothing to take from you. Level the playing field for good and bad actors alike, otherwise the bad actors will get their hands on it while everyone else is left behind…

Some form of US AI lab nationalization is possible, but it hasn't happened yet. We'll see. Nationalization can take different forms, not to mention various arrangements well short of it.

I interpret the comment above as a normative claim (what should happen). It implies the nationalization threat forces the decision by the AI labs. No. I will grant it influences, in the sense that AI labs have to account for it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd prefer something akin to the Biological Weapons Treaty which prohibits development, production and transfer. If you think it isn't possible you have to tell me why the bioweapons convention was successful and why it wouldn't be in the case of AI.

Don't compare general intelligence to bioweapons. A bioweapon cannot defend against or reverse the effects of another bioweapon.

I don’t see why you think that AGI can reverse the effects of another AGI?

What use are weights without the hardware to run them? That's the gate. Local AI right now is a toy in comparison.

Nukes are actually a great example of something also gated by resources. Just having the knowledge/plans isn't good enough.

Because bioweapons suck, this is why. On the other hand AI sucks too, but it has at least some use

The problem with forcing public policy on companies is that companies are ultimately made from individuals, and surely you can’t force public policy down people’s throats. I’m sure nothing good can come out of strong-arming some of the brightest scientists and engineers the U.S. has. Such a waste of talent trying to make them bend over to the government’s wishes… instead of actually fostering innovation in the very c…

The UK and Europe welcome the US Footgun Operation. Plenty of opportunities for those top researchers and engineers over here.

The EU (which is not the same as Europe), is also looking a bit sharper on AI regulation at the moment (for now… not perfect but sharper etc etc).

This letter and all of this is meaningless.

If they actually wanted to do something they wouldn’t have sat back and funded Republican political campaigns because they were pissed about the head of the ftc under Biden.

But they didn’t. They gave millions to this guy and now they’re feigning ignorance or change ir wherever this is.

It’s meaningless. Utterly meaningless.

Get what you pay for, I suppose.
