This is what OpenAI/Anthropic want, it's better marketing than they can pay for -- and it creates a precedent for permanently banning the next generation of open weights models

damn, never thought about this - but yeah this is where we are heading.

open weight models - will be deemed too risky to be out in the open - since they can be abused by "bad actors" (unwashed masses)

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started going after open-source as a whole and labeling it “communism” like the old Microsoft days.

So much of everybody's infra depends on FOSS. I think every industry giant would dogpile whichever politician tried to go after FOSS as a whole.

		The government could give those companies exemptions or give them time to LLM-wash that open-source code directly into their code so they have no dependencies. Those companies will be thrilled because they got the benefit of open-source and now are throwing down the ladder.

It’s going to be a bit trickier to do that, even banning US providers from hosting them legally might be tricky to do.

		I think it's going to be like DMCA, like hard to convict you for having the files but distributing them might be illegal

Yup, regulatory capture.

But in this model, there is no regulator, there is just the Whitehouse deciding who gets to use the AI. Nobody has “captured” Trump here.

The problem is they've convinced mainstream people that a model that can find a bug in Microsoft Windows is a bigger problem than Microsoft not caring about fixing it.

		I would really like to know how much of the anti AI sentiment is really just general economic precariousness mixed with seeing inequality skyrocket while the average persons material reality in the US is decreasing.. We really need to disentangle the technology from the economic inequality everyone is pissed about.
