> policy paper arguing that we should ban powerful open source LLMs

This is a corporation lobbying effort, right? I simply can't believe that anyone else would actually want the power of LLMs to be concentrated in the hands of trillionaire corporations.

I think this is more about the offline aspect of open source LLMs. If someone with bad intentions does his research to harm a group, he’ll leave breadcrumbs that can be sniffed up and eventually ring a bell. If the whole process is offline: no breadcrumbs.

In other words: we can kiss offline LLMs goodbye in the near future. My guess is LLMs will be blamed for sole guy building his contraption that gets him in the news and the whole thing will get massive media attention.
