This has ALWAYS been capitalism. Just now, we're seeing what capitalist policies do to another nation, and that nation is us.
Capitalism is when... the government says you can't launch your product? That sounds very free-market.

#252> Only companies approved by the government will get access. There is no process for individual users to get access to the new model. I knew the time would come when individuals on personal subscriptions get the short end of the stick. Didn't think it would come so soon. I hope we're not too badly deprecated in the months to come. Looks like I've got to improve my DeepSeek workflows.
yeah, but didn't you hope the people rubber stamping AI information weren't the nazis?

#253There's a huge difference between 'pro market' and 'buddies with some big businesses' and this administration is making it very clear, at least to those who would see.

#254I can't tell if this is bad for the big labs, or good because it means they now have an excuse for not showing meaningful progress in the lead ups to their IPOs.
What would that IPO look like when they can’t sell their product to users and are hard capped on how much money they can earn?
A private holding company and multiple smaller subsidiaries going public.

Capitalism and free markets are distinct things often conflated.
One can market socialism.
One can have crony capitalism.

For many, "capitalism" has lost all original meaning and is instead a synonym for "republicans" or "MAGA".

#257Local AI and open-weight models are becoming something to no longer ignore. I've started a community around this @tokenstead on X and tokenstead.ai YouTube and much more coming. DGX Spark on route, RTX 5090s and much more exciting builds. We need to have AI sovereignty!

#258Honestly, are people not getting what's going on? The US is turning into a personalist regime, there is no "government" per-se, there's a dude. There are no 'rules' there's only the dude's opinion and you'll do whatever he feels like today.
The way you know this is true is to imagine The Others in power. Sacks used to scream about government interference, but now that he's running (this part of) the government, obviously things are different.
The only constant is that David Sacks (& co) always believed he should have all the power.

Indeed, I find quite ironic that some people in tech in the US complain about EU "regulations first" approach, but then their government seem to arbitrarily stop things from being released because, well, there is no established policy on safety guarantees or other similar aspects.
This arrangement is already dubiously legal. The government is already being sued over the Fable incident with Anthropic. No amount of rules can stop people who are willing to break them. Only enforcement can.
And enforcement cannot work if you’ve captured all three estates.

Capitalism and Artificial Intelligence are the same thing. As AIs grow stronger, they will be turned upon themselves - RSI.
Nothing else matters.
So everything is right on schedule, it was long predicted that the general public will never be given access to powerful AI, because Capitalism needs AI for itself, so it can finally decouple from its current host, humans, and move into the next and final host - AI.
