Sounds like this is will foss models. This is why all the bug tech companies are pushing ai dangerous narrative they gonna legislate away our freedom for moss models to keep hold of a monopoly. This is how liberty dies with thunderous applause.
Are those models made by companies that would be affected based on the conditions above?
All models are very costly regardless of open source or closed source, but I'm not sure any current model reaches that high. The 100$ million seems to only applies to the cost of computing and not of buying the actual cards.
The legislation is essentially asking that it can't make nukes or do massive hacking attacking and only asking it of people that definitely have the money to make sure.
It's actually very level headed compared to what most are pushing for. I can't even see it affect current gen AI, which are mostly harmless anyways.
I believe some may reach that and it does set a significant limit on capability of foss.
Yup, exactly. The only regulation I'd be in favor of for AI is this: if it was trained on data which can be accessed by or was posted by the public, it must be freely available, such that if anything in the training data was posted online in a way anyone can see, then then I have free access to tge AI too.
Basically any other regulation, even if the companies whine publicly, is actually one that benefits them by raising the barrier of entry and making it more expensive for small actors to create AI tools.
Do foss models really matter? I'm pro foss and think proprietary software should be banned but these weights are essentially a compiled program, we have no idea what they do
Some are foss in the sence its free. But u do have a point.
