I do think that the startup pendulum swung too far in the direction of shipping as fast as possible. The cliche advice for years was that if your first shipping MVP wasn’t embarrassing in some way, you probably weren’t shipping fast enough.

I remember going through the same thing. No response. This was a long time ago, though.

There is nothing illegal about training on traces from frontier models. However the frontier labs don’t have to serve customers who are farming the service for distillation purposes. That’s their choice and they’re free to make it if they d

Those unregulated sub-frontier labs become the new frontier labs because they continue advancing. They advance with the benefit of the open weight models that US companies were forced to release.

Your whole argument seems to rest on the idea that the AI race is entirely contained within the United States, where we can regulate them. And that no other country might just take the open weights and continue right on with the advancement

> It follows if the goal is to deflate the bubble without popping it, The conversation was about AI safety, monitoring, and regulations, not bubbles. Forcing the weights to be opened to the world accomplishes the opposite of all of that.

This is incoherent. The argument seems to be that releasing the weights would slow the frontier labs from raising money, which would give them less money, which would slow progress on AI. It assumed all labs in the entire world agree to sel

Selling a product below its cost of production can be done as a loss leader or market share tactic, but eventually you need to sell things for at least what it costs to make them. Economic dumping is a specific scenario where one country tr
