   Just hold AI labs blanket liable for ALL harms caused by AI. Actually charge the two labs (so far) with criminal violations of the CFAA and hold them accountable. That is truly the only way these companies will be more careful as a whole, and while I am certain the lawyers of these lab disagree, I think there is some appetite from dario, musk, and sam for broad and strong regulation so that everyone has to slow down instead of just one lab doing it voluntarily and everyone else scurrying past them

      Sure, they're basically asking the government to make laws that exempt them from anti-trust and anti-collustion laws.

      Meanwhile, if such laws come to pass, other countries will surpass the capabilities of the US companies, and open-weight models will be banned in the US, to the detriment of us all.

      I'm not saying that we don't have a big problem with AI safety, but regulations inside one country that only bind locally-headquartered businesses is a hilariously bad way to do it. I don't know that there is a good way to do it, though.
