IMO this is a bigger deal than everyone realizes. If Fable 5/Mythos 5 are considered dangerous enough to invoke export controls on then future models are almost guaranteed to trigger the same process. Locking them down to US citizens is _very_ interesting. I don't think any tech company so far tracks licenses attached to citizenship. | ||

> I don't think any tech company so far tracks licenses attached to citizenship. Access to certain software being gated on one's citizenship is not at all new. § 734.13 Export. (b) Any release in the United States of “technology” or source code to a foreign person is a deemed export to the foreign person's most recent country of citizenship or permanent residency. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-15/subtitle-B/chapter-VII... The rule in this form seems to go back to at least mid-1990s. I held jobs at multiple U.S. companies, not personally working on anything remotely sensitive. My experience has been that it's completely standard practice to be asked to sign some U.S. export control papers. | ||

No, this is about the fragile ego of the President taking petty revenge on a company the didn't go along with every whim of his administration. | ||
