I read the new EU Court ruling on algorithms and social platforms so you don't have to.

Turns out to be the most consequential thing a European court has said about recommendation algorithms, and also it just breaks when you apply it to the atmosphere

this is a competitive arms race, so when your frontier+ model becomes regular frontier, open it to create pressure

There's no slowing down frontier models by regulation that wouldn't lead to regulatory capture.

But we could simply force all AI model companies to release their model weights openly.

It's the world's data after all and nothing would slow their funding/progress more effectively and universally.
