> One major feature of Digital Twin Computing is the undertaking to digitally express humans, especially the inner state of individuals.

> Moreover, representing the personality of every person should make it possible to achieve interactivity based on diversity and individual features as opposed to interactivity between individual digital twins without personality that are statistically rounded out as average values.
> We argue that these features will enable the creation of a virtual society in which a variety of things and humans interact with each other in advanced and sophisticated ways beyond the limitations of the real world.

Sounds a bit like this is really about "generative AI for me but not for thee."
Even if they are able to put some control on commercial offerings, open source or available to the public models will be around.
See the behavior around Llama when it first launched. I expect an underground movement around LLM’s similar in vibes to the cracker/hacker scene of the 90’s.
Creating these models require tens or hundreds of billions of dollars and buildings full of high end hardware that is only produced in one or two locations in the world. You can't hide that from world governments like 90s nerds hiding their pirated Playboy scans.
