Guys. Guys, you got it all wrong. We don't want to ban open-weight models!

We just want to ban the competition guys! Very different.

The ridiculous anthropic/openai strategy of selling shovels at a loss in a gold rush isn't going to play out, and the hilarious thing is that these AI companies are going to create tons of value and _capture none of it_.

Their only path to profitability is if they get to capture it and they're going to do everything to do so. Put it this way: *all the blog posts that Anthropic and OpenAI are putting out are DESIGNED to scare you so that you let them capture the market*.

...and "distillation attacks" (hilarious framing of "saving the output of our models")... Whatever.

The genie is out of the bottle. Anthropic and OpenAI have been trading mirrors for gold, and people started to realize what a mirror actually is.
