@emollick Regulation assumes someone to regulate. Closed models give you a company. Shared weights and the open ecosystem built on them, once globally forked, do not. Any workable regime therefore shifts to the remaining choke points: compute and distribution.
@MikeBradleyAI @emollick I think you ought to use your AI models to help you with your reading comprehension. @emollick is not advocating one position or another, but just outlining the possibilities.
@emollick who actually enforces it though? Llama 4 ships to any server on earth the day the weights drop. a closed-model approval regime can't fix that without an export control you'd need State Dept to run.
@emollick The narrative a month ago was these models aren’t good enough and aren’t frontier. Now it’s they need to be regulated because they are too powerful to be open. Which is it?
@emollick Open models are the fertile ground for bootstrapped innovation. Preserving accessibility is crucial to sustaining entrepreneurial momentum.
@emollick Help. Please stop the open models from wrecking the Anthropic and OpenAI narrative.
Regardless of what you think the answer should be, the inherent tension between a growing US regulatory/approval regime for frontier closed models & the lack of one for open models is going to need to be resolved in some way or another in the near future, with large consequences.
Which way do things go? 1) Approval regime for all models (official/unofficial), make life difficult for AI labs that do not do it 2) No required approval, or true voluntary 3) Approval for closed weights, not open (thats today) or its reverse 4) Bless or ban individual labs
