Hear, hear. This whole trust-us-we're-the-good-guys come-on line self-regulation is giving us is clearly not good for much of anything beyond an orgy of self-interested PR.

It doesn't matter how many times people say the market works. There are plenty of self-appointed policy experts but no external force (I.e. regulation) helping people to live up to what they're saying. I think AI policy is pretty well-catered for labour at this point, but enforcement is not.

Regulation is going to make it worse, by picking winners and losers, and will leave states with weapon-grade AI hidden from the public. The only way to fight this is with open technology, like this, publishing state of the art models for everyone, and creating open datasets. It is only a problem today because AI is siloed behind FAANGs and openAI. We need more openness, and i think it will come.
