Regulation to reduce racing. Government regulation could temper racing between multiple western projects. So there are ways to reduce racing between western projects, besides centralising.
Can you say more about the kinds of regulations you’re envisioning? What are your favorite ideas for regulations for (a) the current Overton Window and (b) a wider Overton Window but one that still has some constraints?
This is a good question and I haven’t thought much about it. (Tom might have better ideas.) My quick takes: - The usual stuff: compute thresholds, eval requirements, transparency, infosec requirements, maybe licensing beyond a certain risk threshold - Maybe important to mandate use of certain types of hardware, if we get verification mechanisms which enable agreements with China
