Debate: frontier compute caps would asymmetrically squeeze top US AI labs
TinfoilTricorn · x · 2026-09-13
In a debate sparked by tszzl, "pacing the frontier" regulation would compress margins of frontier labs asymmetrically — a terrible regulatory capture tactic. beffjezos adds that enterprises doing RL post-training on open source base models to reach near-frontier capability would nuke the path for enterprises to own their weights and data value.
