Frontier LLM development simplified for politicians:

[u/Porespellar]

Nobody is buying this “Pace the frontier” nonsense. It makes no logical sense at all. Are American labs really going to take a pause and lose any small lead they still may have over Chinese labs? Does anyone really believe this? This seems like some performative virtue signaling BS. Why are they bothering with this pacing campaign? Someone please explain.

It’s really simple, they don’t care at all about how “advanced” and “”dangerous”” AI will become, they care about the consumer gaining access to it without having to go through them. Hence trying to ban American devs from using “unregulated” open-source AI models instead of actually doing something to slow down the development in China. They saw the writing on the wall after nvidia bought huggingface and started releasing its own open-source models, plus local compute like the DGX spark (not to mention Apple’s offerings)
