This feels like regulators preparing for the last AI race instead of the next one. If open weight AI keeps improving outside the biggest labs, excluding them from review may reduce paperwork without reducing risk. Policy that only slows one side rarely stays effective for long.

The other issue is enforcement. If somebody releases a weights table on the web publicly, by the time the government can review it thousands of people could of seen it and saved a copy of it. You can track down the first person and say take it down but you can’t track down everyone. It’s like the dvd encryption number from the early 2000s. Why waste the resources?
