    I think by limiting the usage other countries will start looking for alternatives, since you wont have access to the best models or you can be without any model in case the gov decides.

      it'll basically do what china is already doing: produce more open models which undermine the entire value chain of america's AI stupidity.

    Is this article targeted just to an American audience? Because the US isolationism will only hurt them. Unless they truly have achieved AGI or ASI, the Chinese models soon will catch up. I'm pretty sure we will have an open weights frontier model this year.

      AGI or no, if the US is right that cutting-edge models have national security implications, I doubt China will be any more enthusiastic about allowing people to release them open weights.

    There is also a downside I assume.

    Frankly, I give ZERO trust to the promises from OpenAI and Anthropic of not using my data for training. They never cared about copyright, using our session data for fine tunning it too juicy for them not to to dip their fingers on.

    And thus, by restricting access to the latest models, the US government is giving a gift for the chinese labs, that will now receive lots of new users providing them with data related to real world software development.

      Training is the least of my worries. They’ve got the single most valuable treasure trove of ad targeting data the world has ever seen. People type way too much personal stuff into these text boxes.

      That trove that they “can’t” sell is going to get a lot of attention when they’re trying to hit quarterly numbers.

      Heck, is it even against the current agreements for them to spin up their own Adsense network and serve personalized ads? They wouldn’t be selling your data, just Showing You More Relevant Ads™
