This is quite incredible

Could you imagine if MS had convinced the govt back in the day, to require a special license to build an operating system (this blocking Linux and everything open)?

It’s essentially what’s happening now,

Except it is OpenAI instead of MS, and it is AI instead of Linux

AI is the new Linux, they know it, and are trying desperately to stop it from happening

I guess @sama took that leaked Google memo to heart ("We have no moat... and neither does OpenAI"). Requiring a license would take out the biggest competitive threats identified in the same memo (Open Source projects) which can result in self-hosted models, which I suppose Altman sees as an existential threat to OpenAI

>>sangno+yS
There is no way to stop self hosted models. The best would be to send gov to data centers, but what if those centers are outside US jurisdiction? Too funny to watch the gov play these losing games.

Sure, but they can be made illegal and difficult to share on the clear web.
