> equally important

They really aren't. Nothing in the development of these systems, absolutely nothing, is as important as money. Stop these silly false equivalences.

These are not silly equivalences.

All the major labs would be dead in the water if the government acted on the things I mentioned. If they treated the labs the way they would have treated us for all those hacks. Or if they enforced pollution measures (or god forbid ban on-prem turbines because of the climate damage). Or rule that training on data is not fair use, or that ingesting GPL3 code and then turning that into weights counts as a derivative work. Or. Or. Or.

Those are all just as important as cash.
