Skeptics note China already produces top open-weight models
@deanwball Well most of our capable open models come from the country that's been under export controls for chips for years now, and I don't know why US export controls on models will change that
Color me crazy, but I am not sure that worldwide export controls on model weights bode well for future open-weight and open-source models
Some users reacted negatively to export controls on AI model weights, comparing the idea to forcing high school physics students to build nuclear weapons and calling it demented.

@deanwball not crazy at all, sadly
@deanwball Seriously
Open source won’t end up as a loophole
Long term, I suspect controls will be implemented at hardware level. They’ll just come baked in. Like printers and tracking codes
@deanwball Do you insist all high school physics students must learn how to assemble a primitive fission weapon?
Let's assume you are sane and reply that you do not support such demented insanity.
Similar case here. @deanwball
@deanwball That’s definitely a valid concern; balancing innovation with security can be tricky, especially in a rapidly evolving field like AI.
@deanwball Crypto export controls in the 90s didn't enhance security. Restricting model weights just repeats that mistake.
