> The law should apply to anyone selling model access to Americans

So the US AI labs get taken out, and US companies fall behind on access, too?

This is beyond unrealistic.

> Our European and Asian allies would probably go along with this idea

I could see European countries doing it.

Asian - absolutely no way that would happen.

Nobody gets taken out. Anthropic and OpenAI can keep selling inference, products, and agents. Every company will have more access than it has today, since it can run the weights itself or through third-parties. Many of them would keep paying OpenAI and Anthropic, at reduced pricing/margins.

It would only slow down the development of new models. But we've already got models with massive "capability overhang" that we could keep pushing for years.
