Let'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 fundamental research in it.

Read the https://www.stateof.ai/ reports or even the Stanford AI Index (https://aiindex.stanford.edu/) reports from the last few years. There's plenty of reason to try to create some limits on AI. It's very likely the proposed limits won't be "random" as you say.

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.

You write it like there is litteraly 0 risk. Are you aware there are some malicious deviations already possible with AI ? Edit : Totally agree with qualifiedai's edit
