I think it's important to note this isn't a new appropriation authorized by Congress (at least, not yet) rather the money is supposed to be coming from the existing Child Care and Development Fund which subsidizes childcare for low income parents who work or are in education or training. So, it's a reallocation of a government subsidy from working parents to non-working parents.

I agree with this post in the sense that I think the rate at which teenage runaways were actually the victim of crime matters for assessing the police's attitude towards these reports. It is not good epistemic hygiene to reason only from the cases where the police didn't take it seriously and the individual was actually victimized. On the other hand, I am not sure it is good epistemic hygiene to exonerate the police officers by imagining the rate was such that their actions were reasonable either.

I guess as a point of clarification this is like a reverse jury nullification. Ordinarily in jury nullification cases the juror acknowledges there is not reasonable doubt but votes to acquit anyway. If the juror is acknowledging there is reasonable doubt but voting to convict that's pretty different. "Yes they're innocent, legally, but they should go to jail anyway."

Why would the current winners of the race want this?
Because any regulatory regime is likely to impose costs that they can bear but competitors may not be able to. Whatever the "verifiable, effective mechanism for coordinated pacing" is it will not be free to implement. If they are serious about their commitments, they can always go slower voluntarily. Nobody has a gun to their head telling them to improve as fast as possible.
Who? Who the fuck are these other better mouse trap makers that they're afraid of? it doesn't make any sense.
There doesn't have to be someone today. There may be someone(s) in the future. OpenAI was far ahead in the AI space, until they weren't. I know of no reason why some other company couldn't come along and supplant both of them.
If signaling that they're willing to give up their lead isn't enough to show you that they are serious about the problem then what possible action could change your mind?
I don't really see how this is signalling giving up their lead. Giving it up to who?

Perhaps I am too cynical but the call for government coordination seems like an obvious attempt to build themselves a moat in a largely moatless space. My own experience has been the cost of model switching is near 0. Approximately all the agents, skills, whatever I've used in my job work pretty seamlessly for any of the underlying models. Some have their quirks but essentially all of them are good enough.
"We the current frontier mousetrap makers think it should be ILLEGAL for anyone to build a better mousetrap faster than we can, for the good of humanity."
If, for any given woman, being a SAHM is more productive than what she would be doing working then society ought to be willing to compensate her such that she should prefer being a SAHM to working. Pretty rarely see any proposal like this in practice, though.
