    This sounds like politicians that don’t understand the technology.

    Anyone can create an AI model (including Gen AI LLMs). I personally created on for a hobby project trained exclusively on a series of old public domain novels from the early 1900s. Don’t get me wrong, my AI model sucks and only produced barely coherent responses, but it absolutely meets the definition of an AI model.

    So how would this White House action (if implemented into law) affect me and my model?

    • Would I have to submit my model to a government agency to run it on my local computer?
    • Would it only apply to models deployed for the consumption of others?
    • Private companies that build their own AI models purely for internal business purposes not used for public consumption, would they be obligated to put it them through some government process before these models could be used inside companies?
    • Is it perhaps not all AI models would need to go through this government approval process, but then what criteria defines a model that would vs one that wouldn’t?

    Stupid people who can’t think will be vetting software that they believe thinks for them. What could possibly go wrong.

      It’s worse…

      I remember something about them preventing states from regulating them too.

      They’re gonna say only Grok level chatbots are “real” be ause it’s constantly tweaked to stay right wing

      They know the type of people who us AInare incredibly gullible and prone to being manipulated.

      So they’re going to force ever American chatbot addict, to use chatbots that only reinforce maga propaganda

      This isn’t trump making these decisions, they’re too logical. It’s likely Peter Thiel.

    this worries me with any tech.

    1. if a smaller company dvelopes a competing product (openai and anthropic used to be small) will it hinder them and provide access to only the mion stream companies?

    2. how does this affect non-us models?

    3. will they only be approved if they say wonderful things about trump? have you ever asked grok about elon?

      I really feel like you’re actually being too generous to this proposal.

      Let’s be clear, when this administration says they want to vet new models, what they mean is that they want to turn them into right wing propaganda engines. This is “reprogram ChatGPT to say the 2020 election was stolen, white genocide is real and trans people are all sex predators, or we won’t certify it.”

      This is some Cold War regulatory capture BS based on a Myth(os), something that didn’t happen:

      Anthropic did in its Mythos system card, suggest a model has “broken containment and sent a message” when it A) was instructed to do so and B) did not actually break out of any container.

    Government finally realizing that bleeding edge software that has no regulation being applied to it needs said regulation after all.

    Of course, this is more like the government is making sure the models produce the content the government wants the public to know. Very much like China, Russia, et al. Ergo, controlling the narrative.

      Training costs are still enormous for Generational AI. It’s possible to moderate it by tracking power consumption, data centers, and known actors. Even DeepSeek 4 still cost about $6M to train. If they want to, they can impose regulation while watching for training. Of course won’t matter what China releases
