That's fine, but don't complain when you lose access to products and services that are widely available elsewhere.
In particular, restrictions on ML models will leave you without access to extremely powerful resources that are available to people in other countries, and to people in your own country who don't mind operating outside the law. Copyright maximalism is not, in fact, a good thing, and neither is overbearing nanny-statism. Both will ultimately disempower you.
You have to realize that as an individual, you have no power anyways
It doesn't matter if an individual personally has access to ML models, because government and/or huge corporations will ensure that individuals cannot use them for anything that would threaten government or corporate interests
This unfettered explosion of ML growth is disempowering all of us. Those with power are not using these tools to augment us, they are hoping to replace us.

Never mind that I've gotten things done with ChatGPT that would otherwise have taken much longer, or not gotten done at all. If this is what "disempowerment" feels like, bring it on.
Although the tech is nowhere near ready to make it happen, I would be very happy to be "replaced" by AI. I have better things to do than a robot's job. You probably do, too.
(Shrug) Among other capabilities, the ability to turn English into working code is a big deal. Perhaps you disagree, but if you do, it signals the presence of a gulf too large to cross in an HN thread.
Say what you want about ML models, they will get better at a rate that outpaces any possible self-improvement on your part. (Maybe you've noticed that those jokes about six-fingered people aren't aging particularly well.) The same is true for me, and I don't want to be left behind as that happens. At the national scope, countries that act to restrict or impede progress in this area will be outcompeted dramatically in the long run.
