Most of the comments here only make sense under a model where AI isn't going to become extremely powerful AI in the near term.

If you think upcoming models aren't going to be very powerful, then you'll probably endorse business-as-usual policies such as rejecting any policy that isn't perfect or insisting on a high bar of evidence before regulating.

On the other hand, if you have a world model where AI is going to provide malicious actors with extremely powerful and dangerous technologies within the next few years, then instead of being radical, proposal like this start appearing extremely timid.
