This ban in particular is probably the wrong decision, but now we're in the timeline where the USG is actively involved in AI model deployment which I think is a positive development within Amodei's beliefs. And I say this unironically and without judgement.
Yes it is bad, but if you believe some version of the most extreme forecasts of this tech then a government paying attention and doing some stupid things may be better than one that doesn't pay attention and is letting it rip.
I'm not saying I believe that or that Amodei thinks this decision is reasonable.
