I disagree with 100% of everything said in this article.

> My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)....

This is why open weights win. See Linux and how it's taken over the world. Your business model will need to change eventually. Instead you're advocating trying to exterminate competition via regulation and fear mongering.

> My secondary concern is the risk that powerful AI models may be misused to carry out cyberattacks or biological attacks

Yawn... this is getting old.

> We should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment to China

For as someone as smart as you guys, you sure lack common sense. China is just going to develop these technologies organically then and you lose 100% of control. It's already happened in reverse with things like Solar, rare earth minerals, etc. China flooded our market, destroyed our ability to produce things, now holds the keys. One thing they DIDNT do was stop trading to the US. They killed us with cheap goods.

> We should crack down on industrial-scale distillation operations.

Thats your problem, not my problem. Also, irony meter here hitting 11 about all those pirated books you stole...

> All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing

Oh, fuck, no. This is a crackdown on free speech and rights of people to do whatever they want. My right to free speech means I'm allowed to write whatever computer program I want, no matter what its size is or how "sufficiently advanced" it is. Individual rights always win.

I really hope people don't believe this garbage. For a company with a great product, this is absolute nonsense.
