Plenty of people are discussing that.

By international agreement, obviously. There are tons of international agreements to regulate all sorts of things. It's generally a pretty good way to prevent a race to the bottom. Or in this case, a potential race to the end of the world.

MIRI has one: https://intelligence.org/2026/05/12/summary-an-international...

Irrelevant. Let them - it brings negative value.

Two things I would say. One: nuclear non-proliferation has been pretty successful; we can use a similar model for AI.

Two, China's major motivation for developing competitive AI isn't to reap the benefits from an an important new technology. It's to undermine the economic development of the West and make them even more dependent upon the CCP. It's an extension of the policy that's made us dependent on Chinese labor and manufacturing: win on the economics by any means necessary, wait for the other producers to die, enshittify (extract geopolitical concessions, in this case).

Oh, that's easy. Bernie will pick 11 volunteers and together they will be dropped off behind enemy lines. Let's call them "the Dirty Dozen". They will capture the evil bastards who violated American law outside of US borders (that's just evil) and bring them to Justice™ (Impossible is nothing. Call 1-800-JUSTICE. Conditions apply).

> the obvious international treaty

That's even easier. We just take the international treaty on cloud computing as a base and...

Make it international law and bomb anyone who doesn’t comply

I propose the twisted massage suggestive torture machine that appeared in the first episode of Monkey Punch's Lupin III. /J

The USA should finally revise their system and create more parties. It is absurd that power be left bouncing on the rhythm of "never this, we'll pick whatever that".

Again and again the scum reacts but does not reply.

make a new bill

You (conveniently?) left out the words “across a a broad range of domains and tasks”.

The HN title has been editorialized... and techno-oligarchs really, really hate Sanders.

The bill isn't about using LLMs to merge your pull requests, it's about discouraging people or companies who might be working on their own private Manhattan Projects from intentionally trying to create the impact equivalent of nuclear weapons, or "Artificial Superintelligence".

We're getting closer than not to an A(S)I arms race. Sanders has lived his entire life in that, and I've been smelling it for a while, too.

> The law proposal bans research on ASI

Which is exactly the same as the submission's post, obvious interpretations of "AI" aside: how can we implement Intelligence without enabling superintelligence at the same time?!

And of course we must implement Intelligence, finally: we have implemented further morons, of which we already had plentiful abundance - already the LLM stage must be corrected!

Developers are mostly fine, they are already buried in work and won't stop to question long and hard enough. It's the managers and sci-fi grifters that make this entire topic toxic, by assuming no limits should apply to them.

and farmers too! Did you know they just steal the resources they need to grow our food? They don't pay anything for sunlight or air! Who's investigating them?

> scifi grifters

That would be?
