This is huge news... Has anybody seen any discussions around that topic?

This is not a discussion, this is just you posting verbatim what the executive order said.

This exists solely to protect the incumbents (OpenAI et al)

OpenAI has truly lived up to its name!

Not even Oracle dared to pull shit like this w/ Java.

Eh, I may be misremembering my history, but didn't they try back in the day and quickly got smacked down for one reason or another?

They do defend their business, tooth and nail.

But this would be akin to them saying "you know, bytecode could be used for evil, and we'd to regulate/outlaw the development of new virtual machines like the one we already have".

China and Russia will keep using US models because they don't care about US laws. I think if restrictions on AI are only applied in the US, such restrictions will only put Americans at a disadvantage.

P.S. I'm from one of the said countries

I feel like this is another case of screens for e-book readers; where a single player had everybody else in a chokehold for decades, and slowed down innovation to a drip

> the removal of safeguards within the model

this cat is already out of the bag, so this is pointless legislation that just hampers progress

I have already had good-actor success with uncensored models

> this cat is already out of the bag, so this is pointless legislation that just hampers progress

This isn't legislation.

And its not proposing anything except soliciting input from a broad range of civil society groups and writing a report. If the report calls for dumb regulatory ideas, that’ll be appropriate to complain about. But “there’s a thing that is happening that seems like it might have big effects, gather input from experts and concerned parties and then writeup findings on the impacts and what, if any, action seems warranted is... not a particularly alarming thing.

OK. The way it was portrayed is that this was "very bad" so I assumed something was decreed without sufficient input from the industry/community.

> removal of safeguards within the model

This is insanity. I have to be missing something, what else do the safeguards prevent the LLM from doing? This has to be more about this than like preventing an LLM from using bad words or showing support for Trump...

> I believe that is the relevant section, which I am hoping they realize how dumb this is going to be.

How dumb its going to be to... solicit input from a wide range of different areas and write a report?
