The only people who seem to think that a world where only Anthropic and OpenAI can act as anointed gatekeepers to the most powerful models as the only rational path forward happen to work for these companies.

The entire world should not allow them to entrench themselves and build a business strategy around this and if open weight models and democratized access to the computing power to run them means these companies can’t exist then so be it.

I would rather watch the economy fall into a deep recession and hurt everyone to spare the entire world from this dystopian future.

Sorry Dario. You and your ilk don’t speak for humanity. Go cry on LessWrong if you feel so inclined, but people like these are the last people I would want yielding this power.

The best situation for us is the one where they exhaust themselves in unending competition. Neither the US nor China should ever be allowed to win, nor should OpenAI or Anthropic or any other individual corporation.

The second any one of them wins, oppression the likes of which we cannot even imagine will follow.
