I noticed many were people were having problems finding where to voice your response to the Open Source AI Regulation request by the NTIA. I have provided a link below. Click on "comments" and provide your message.

It is important that we provide a well reasoned and thoughtful response to counter the flood of fearmongers.

Please do so as open source AI will depend upon it.

And maybe post your comment here so we can read it, too?!

I read the questions asked there and it is clear that it comes from people who have done their homeworks and are positive about open models already. Answering their questions in depth enough is pretty involved and would probably take me 1-2 days to bring up citations and articles.

It could be interesting to make a collaborative answer.

Good idea. I'm sure some staff member is going to weed out most replies anyways, to get the number down to a manageable size for any politician to read, so we should prefer quality over quantity.

And they already have EU regulations and scientific literature available as guidance.

I really want this lemmy community to grow and strive but for that thing, I thought it was too important to not post it on the biggest community out there, so I made a post on /r/localllama to incite a collective response.

I think that's alright. Some of us still use Reddit. I'd think about including some backlink to Lemmy to advertise for this community, but I'm not sure if that gets your post shadow-banned. So I'd be a bit careful with that. Hope you get some engagement.
