But what if there's no suppression of competition, just guardrails put in place through legislation? I wouldn't be opposed to that.

    Sure. But that's not realistically on the table.

    You should stop viewing the US government as being on your side. They are the HR of our society. "AI legislation" in all it's current proposed forms are just mechanisms to exclude things like open-weight models or foreign competitors from entering the market. So long as AI exists as an element of our society it will cause harms. Advocate for it's abolition, not regulation.

    Take this specific issue, for example.

    The "guardrail" would be "AI must only run on trusted curated infrastructure, open weight models are banned".

    Now if you told me I couldn't use any AI, remote or local, I would not shed a tear. However the angle of this scare is squarely targeted at open weight models, that Anthropic does not do.
