How is this regulatory capture? Any new LLM company can just exist outside of the US and export to everyone.

You’re saying it’s not regulatory capture because it’s not enforced globally?

it's not regulatory capture, because they are not regulating what customers can use - it's limiting what some companies can serve. it's way less impactful to the market as a whole.

Countries who've made the mistake of allying with the US might face sanctions or some sort of threats. People will just use Chinese AI then. This is the US biting itself in the ass.

It is as if people can't imagine the concept of sanctions despite their liberal use over the years.

Sanctioning a data file? Did it work for the PGP source code?
