Also, I predicted this:
This also means Chinese models are almost certainly going to be restricted in some way - possibly even banned - in the West. Right now they're roughly nine months behind. If every American frontier release is forced into a slow, staggered rollout from now on, they'll start closing that gap immediately. Over time, this destroys Western labs business models, because users will eventually have access to genuinely equivalent open-source alternatives - and in time, even better ones! The US government will not allow that to happen. The only way to prevent it is if China agrees to the same staggered release schedule (unlikely but I suppose it's possible), keeping the gap roughly where it is today. Otherwise, the US will likely restrict or ban Chinese models. There's probably a nine-month window, at most, probably a lot less, before one of those outcomes plays out.
Dean Ball vindicated.
Damn, this is exactly what @deanwball said, isn’t it? https://twitter.com/jukan05/status/2079158754382389551
@AndrewCurran_ for what? predicting a heavy handed regulatory protectionist response from this administration? that ain’t vindication. his posts are sloppy for a variety of other reasons.
