> Government regulation, the usual solution to this kind of coordination problem? What would that even look like?
Which government is the question you should be asking.
For example, lets say I'm a authoritarian government that is hostile to other nations. In general there is a strong imperative to block GPT use in my own country except by approved users to make propaganda. At the same time it is a very useful weapon for me to use against my enemies. I can use the 'bullshit asymmetry theory' against them and drown their population in conflicting propaganda.
But you see unlike nuclear weapons, we really don't need multibillion dollar facilities to make these things. Midsized companies make these things easy enough. There is no opting out, unless of course you want a world wide police state to ensure that you're not making anything naughty with your computer. And of course you should realize your government, along with everyone else's government is making their own naughty versions of this kind of application anyway.
So, yea, some smaller EU countries won't make one because of the law, but the US, China, and likely Russia would do it anyway because screw you, we have nukes behavior that drives their other actions.
