> We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default. Really glad to see some reasonably prominent pushback against this government overreach. The information has been reporting that the government wants to individually approve which companies get access and when. Imagine the wonderful opportunities for corruption and influence peddling, not to mention, excluding any companies…

A couple of lines in a press release isn’t “pushback”.

I hope this doesn't become the new norm where government becomes the bottleneck for innovation in the AI space. It's worrying that with no formal and transparent policy framework that the government will be picking winners and losers and stifling innovation. There's been no public policy, executive order, legislation, or otherwise on this, I wonder if anyone has filed FOIA requests for these decisions or the conversa…

"We believe in broad access, and we plan to make GPT‑5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna generally available in the coming weeks. As part of our ongoing engagement with the U.S. government, we previewed our plans and the models’ capabilities ahead of today’s launch. At their request, we are starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners whose participation has been shared with the government, before relea…

current players in the space love the regulatory capture

There is no bad publicity! I wonder if OpenAI explicilty asked for this.

> We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default. It keeps the best tools from users, developers, enterprises, cyber defenders, and global partners who need them. My brother in Christ, then why did you (and your competitors) spend years telling the government you needed them to tie your hands behind your back? Did you really think they'd just give you a crown that says "Ga…

In the past few years, that's been primarily Anthropic, right? A lot of the really regulation-oriented people at OpenAI went to Anthropic, particularly after the failed attempt to oust Sam Altman as CEO (that was in late 2023).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This isn't going to save you unless you're ok being a criminal. There is nothing stopping the government from making open source versions of these models equally controlled. And given how willy-nilly they are operating I see no reason they won't clamp down on open source. All it takes is someone with connections/political contributions wakes up one day and realizes that open source is a threat to their power or botto…

They can try. Will the courts go along?

They're trying to build case law for this with VPNs. They'll likely succeeed.

Just because you don't get access, doesn't mean they're not innovating.

This is pure openai though. I can call anthropic misguided, but openai is just slimy.
