alt Hacker NewsBlocking Chinese models would just be regulatory capture by another name. If we want OpenAI and Anthropic to improve they need to compete not just with eachother but with foreign labs too.
I don’t know why anyone would think giving Mango Mussolini the power to decide what AI models they can use is a good idea.

Could foreign labs compete with openAI and anthropic if they weren't literally just copying their outputs?
Can the foreign labs actually advance the state of the art if they put openAI/anthropic out of business?
It's not really a competition with the foreign labs cause they're copying. To illustrate the difference, if there were somehow an impenetrable firewall between the US and China, the US models would continue improving while the Chinese ones don't.
The only solution is for US labs to find a way to not get copied, and idk how. Banning Chinese models doesn't help with that.
