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'm no expert, but I'm old and I think that Unix is actually the model that won. Linux won because of Unix IMO, and I think that its too late for the regulators. Not that I understand the stuff but like Unix, the code and the ideas are out there in Universities and even if OpenAI gets their licensing, there will be really open stuff also. So, no worries. Except for the fact that AI itself - well, are we mature enough to handle it without supervision? Dunno.
