Who remembers this?
Our community has fought cryptography export controls for years.
First they wanted to control exports of transport security, now they want to control model intelligence exports.
Our community knows how to solve this problem. Just do it the Phil Zimmermann (PGP) way: print all the model weights in a book so they are protected by first-amendment free speech protections.
But the oligarchic tech industry today doesn't seem to have the same ethics & values than back in the day
