Classic mega corporations. Unable to adapt and innovate, so they just acquire smaller competitors, and lobby to get the bigger ones banned. It's depressing how often it works out perfectly for them.

Because they can't compete.
Tick-tock, motherfuckers.

Young companies innovate. Old companies litigate
If you have to lobby the government to protect your company from smaller competition then your business model sucks.
I suspect, however, that they're not going to be able to just stop Chinese offerings from being downloaded and run locally. And that is going to do most of the stuff for which people are turning to AI.

That must be this free market everybody keeps talking about.
replies:
They have also been claiming Chinese models are stealing their work and intellectual property by distilling the frontier models. Which is ironic considering they stole the works of all of humanity to create it in the first place.
replies:
"Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!"

Funnily enough, OpenAI signed the open weights letter too.
Sam Altman would do literally anything, say anything to make OpenAI look good. He would sacrifice his grandmother if he could, and I’m not one to say that lightly.
replies:
“OpenAI” signed the open weight pledge, which only makes sense given the company name and original values. They’ve had gpt-oss for quite a while, but it feels like a pretty half-assed effort for the purposes of virtue signaling. I’m not holding my breath for them to release an open weight model on par with GLM, Kimi, or Qwen.

Using security as a convenient tool to sideline foreign competition is a slippery slope, especially from companies that built their own success on open research.

The rest of the world should restrict US AI
