I have a bad feeling about this.
US companies have spent hundreds of billions on their models, and they are not much better than the cheaper open Chinese models.
Perhaps they can out-compete them. If not there will be increasing calls to limit access to open models on the grounds of "safety".
Basically, if you can't beat 'em, ban 'em.
I have a good feeling about this.
Unbelievably cheap and remarkable technology is coming. History repeats.
How are they going to ban open weight models? Literally a TPB clone for open weight models would be up the next day.
