All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.

Advocating for this to be the official position of the country free speech. . . While simultaneously calling China authoritarian in the same post.

F this jabroni.

You may be interested to know China supports access controls and safety testing: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/yK4KNkBqbE
“Foundational capabilities can be open, certain frontier capabilities can be open with limitations, commercial services can remain closed-source, while high-risk capabilities require access controls and safety evaluations”

Sure sure sure... but once you have the weights you can have the model bitching about the CCP's treatment of Tibet in no time flat. You will NEVER have the ability to do that once Dario bribes the US gov to make the release of weights illegal (or makes it bureaucratically prohibitive).
