Things can be regulated in sensible countries where the things are pretty much single use - like guns.

However, nobody bans cars because somebody has driven one into a crowd, or hammers because of a particularly grusome murder.

These models, just like computers, are universal tools by their nature - they don't fall into the gun category - they fall into the hammer and car category.

Sure and there are regulations on who can own guns and licenses. And that's literally how Mythos is handed out today - to trusted partners. What is your opinion about that?

Also, companies are not allowed to release stuff like Nuclear technology, chemical weapons etc. These literally can't be regulated and a single adversary can use it destructively.

"but but they are just tools ok" doesn't work when the capability is big enough.

Look, it might be easy sitting behind a computer asking OpenAI to release whatever new model because you personally don't think you will be affected. But the society needs to be careful on what it hands potential adversaries.
