  1. The requirements of the bill basically made more powerful open source models illegal, by requiring impossible standards. It was written by Effective Altruists and was lobbied for by organizations and companies with ties to the EA movement.

    Effective Altrusist’s believe that only large corporations are able to safely handle AI, and these are not the people you want writing legislation. The EA movement is basically a group of rich white folks that think they are better than everyone else, with members like Sam Bankman-Fried.
