Is there any AI regulation safety folks want that won't slow capabilities or hurt valuations?

panickssery poses a pointed question: are there AI regulations that safety advocates consider worthwhile but that also don't slow capabilities or hurt valuations?
He floats two candidates — an antitrust exemption (letting AI companies coordinate on safety without antitrust liability) and government funding of certain AI-safety-related public goods. The question surfaces the three-way tension between safety, capability, and commercial interests.
