Paraphrasing him, he says that open source software which tool tens or hundreds of millions to build should be classified as a different category. And the implication being they should be banned. Why?
'These tools will become dangerously powerful, which is why nobody should be allowed to have them except through buying them from specifically me' seems a lot like motivated reasoning to me.

#22They just want US authorities to ban big corporations from using models like GLM etc. so that they can keep selling their overpriced tokens. Funnily enough, a ban like this would close to impossible to enforce on individuals, so I guess their lobbying efforts will soon be met by lobbying efforts from big corporations that are losing from this.

Completely stopping people from using open source models is impossible, but if it became a federal law there could be incredible pressure exerted on US companies. For example, OpenRouter might be compelled to not accept open source requests on threat of fines.

#28Disappointing behaviour from him. Glad someone was watching and clipped it.
