No way this can go wrong for the U.S. economy! Do everything you can to protect the existing incumbents, pay no mind to the wider consequences. Winning strategy.

Clearly worked for Oracle and Intel, who are still making their executives rich. What do you mean "average person", who gives a fuck about those?

Who is in charge of AI strategy for the US? They are doing a terrible job!

Cynically: someone who is just fully deferring to Claude or ChatGPT More cynically: someone directly in the pocket of OpenAI

and probably holding stocks in these companies

This feels like the US is going to take a page from Europes book and regulate itself into uncompetitiveness

The point of regulation in Europe is usually to protect people. Regulation in the US seems to be done with the purpose of protection companies. I'm not 100% sure, but this feels non-ideal for most people.

Fuck these two companies.

Fuck Sam and Dario.

These fucking assholes want to selfishly sink our country and our competitiveness because their valuations are tied to a thin little moat, and they moronically raised way too much capital. They think regulation can save them, when in actuality it will doom all of us.

Go to hell, OpenAI and Anthropic.

Call your senators right now.

Doesn't help how the us gov is saying Kimi 3 stole IP of Fable even though it's not possible to distill Fable in 1 month.

That's wild. It was only 15 days. It would have been impossible to gather enough data AND clean it up AND train AND do post training in just 15 days.

edit: the Anthropic employee downvotes are coming in now. This was +8, now it's +3.

You know what? That is fine based merely on recent openai/hugginface incident ( after all, they needed open weights model to actually troubleshoot it, because 'safe' one did not let em ). Let it all burn:D edit: And lets hope we learn a lesson.

> And lets hope we learn a lesson.

That is the last thing that will happen. We don't seem to ever learn a lesson.

To take the point further, the US still protects people. It's just that the people tend to exclusively inhabit the top 0.1% or 0.01% quantiles.

I would rather we not lose the AI race so idiotically.

Winning the AI race means letting OpenAI and Anthropic face market forces.

Edit: Clearly other companies are doing well. ElevenLabs, Runway, FAL, RunPod, CoreWeave, Lambda, BaseTen, Lovable. These are real companies that didn't raise absurd amounts of capital. They've grown revenues at a solid clip, provide real value, and didn't go off the deep end with fundraising.
