I feel like the core issue here is accessibility. It’s always been possible to machine your own gun, but that required technical skill. Now the skill lies in the designing of the models, not the manufacturing, so it may be more practical to go after model distribution. But that ship might have already sailed with the advent of AI model creators.
Going after model distribution is by far the least practical option. Speech is protected by law that California can not change, and the flow of information is ridiculously difficult to control even if it were legally permissible to do.
