>>> To establish this, let’s write a simple simulation. We’ll flip a coin a million times, ask our friends what they saw, and observe the results.
Either they agree, or they disagree.
If they agree, they're either both telling the truth or both lying. All you can do is go with what they agreed on. In this case, picking what they agreed on is the same as picking what one of them said (say, Alice).
If they disagree, then one is telling the truth and one is lying and you have no way to tell which. So just pick one, and it makes no difference if you pick the same one every time (say, Alice).
So you end up just listening to Alice all the time anyway.

Even if this was going to hold up, it wouldn't make the policies that Lamarck's ideas were designed to promote work. We already empirically know they don't work.
Maybe someone could have just came up with in a vacuum, but it looks like a response to other attempts to restrict AI by saying that models trained with more than X amount of compute resources have to follow tons of extra rules.
And, per the article, the group pushing this is AI and blockchain companies.
