    I don’t disagree but I’m curious what government regulation can do to create that moat? What are they trying to get out of the recent fearmongering, I can’t figure out what the end goal is

      I think it’s to put a regulatory limitation on local run models, these frontiers companies might argue that such a technology which can be self run by a regular user would be disastrous and they want the government to regulate the release of these local models cough Chinese distilled models cough, hence regulating every other new ai companies. Oh these American companies are exempt because they are the moral companies who would never do anything disastrous.

      So it’s kinda a way to snuff the small competitors companies so they can slow down their cash burning (they need to throw in millions every day to keep ahead of the local models) so they can at last finally raise price for their products since there is no competition. So basically it’s a fuckin cartel that need government help to make profit

        I don’t think it would work out well for americans, not that this administration cares though. They might do it regardless

        Unless they can get other countries to stop using the local models, American companies will have a much harder time competing if everyone else can use cheaper and more efficient models while they need to use expensive american ones.

          Most “pro-business” legislation doesn’t.

          not that this administration the leadership of either major party cares though. They might almost certainly will do it regardless

          Fixed that for you. The likes of Schumer, Jeffries, Durbin, and Klobuchar are in on it too.
