alt Hacker NewsWhat disturbs me is that there likely won’t be a big enough reaction to this policy wise.
There’s been a relatively big reaction to Kimi K3 and Chinese open weights models, but only for financial reasons. Powerful people care about something that might pop the massive valuations of the AI companies, but not about the damage that AIs could do. Nor even about the damage that the Chinese models could do in the wrong hands.
I’d remind them that the stock market is a few coordinated hacks away from crashing on any given day, so maybe they should think about that.

Anthropic was blocked from releasing Fable without any such level of incident. OAI was also briefly blocked from releasing 5.6. Why do you think there is no policy appetite?
This is marketing.
Frankly I'm inclined to say that it might also be faked: this drops just days after a new Chinese model does with the usual effect on OAIs projected stock price?
I think all that regulation will do at this point is help the incumbents who are failing. Protectionism. I don't think they deserve that help. I also don't see any reason to think the current administration would have anything resembling competence around this. And it's worth noting that Greg Brockman is a huge MAGA donor, so it's likely the policies would be very corrupt. (Don't worry, he justified his donations as "apolitical", he just wants to buy the politicians, he doesn't believe in their causes. I hate these people.)
