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
If the USA continues to put barriers into the release of models, open and/or foreign models will start to out perform them.
If open models are competitive enough nothing will stop even US companies from running them locally.
open weight models - will be deemed too risky to be out in the open - since they can be abused by "bad actors" (unwashed masses)
Those companies will be thrilled because they got the benefit of open-source and now are throwing down the ladder.
America bans intel and amd from exporting chips.
Whats next.
We really need to disentangle the technology from the economic inequality everyone is pissed about.
