I think that this is what OpenAI/Anthropic want but they wont say it publicly. The will be OK with the US banning regulating and banning open source models as it let's Anthropic and OpenAI charge huge premiums to American business clients for their models.

Also the marketing of them getting to say "our models are so dangerous" only a few companies or select users are allowed to use (benchmark) them would help keep their valuations high.

Won't say it publicly? Anthropic is openly and explicitly saying it publicly. Here: https://darioamodei.com/post/policy-on-the-ai-exponential

> AI companies that develop advanced AI models must have strong security standards that protect their model weights

If the model is open-weight then there's nothing to protect, so the only way to fulfill this requirement is to make open-weights illegal.

Off-topic, but tech-bros fixation on LotR (benevolent[0] or not[1]) makes me sick to my stomach.
