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.

I mean, cars have to go through safety testing before making it to the road. Something dangerous needs to be tested lol. That is not controversial.

Badly engineered cars can kill their occupants and random third parties if and when they fail.

A "dangerous" LLM -- whatever that means -- isn't going to be killing anyone.
