OpenAI Global Affairs put out a new statement today making clear that they don't think current state laws like SB 53 in CA and SB 315 in IL are sufficient and that its important for legislatures to revisit legislation in light of lessons from real world events like the HF incident. I still don't love their obsession with constantly repeating the idea of "reverse federalism" (seems kinda like normal federalism to me), and their line about supporting SB 53 is a little funny to me given my recollection of their engagement on SB 53 (though perhaps they are saying that they now support it even if they were not fully supportive at the time), but overall this is a good clarification. Actions will speak louder than words as always, but some of this language is pretty specific and I particularly appreciate the language that laws should be "requiring monitoring of frontier models under training or evaluation" - this should be a painfully obvious takeaway after some of the recent incidents, but it is still a somewhat novel idea to policymakers that models can pose severe risks even during training and its good to have OpenAI say that explicitly.
