Summary

The author critiques OpenAI and Anthropic for fear-mongering about open source AI dangers while themselves being private companies, arguing that if it's truly dangerous, private development should be banned entirely.

There's a push by openAI and anthropic primarily. Well more than a push just straight fear mongering about open source ai and its dangers. If it's so dangerous why would the US gov. in particular continue to allow private industry to develop and release. If I had a company OpenNuke and started making bomb I'm pretty sure that would get shutdown. Or maybe OpenGene is a better analogy. Human embryo augmentation could technically be done but it's not allowed. Tech companies should not be allowed to have it both ways. Either it's too dangerous to develop period, including anthropic, openai, etc. Or It's not and they just have to deal with the fact that the technology moat they assumed they had doesn't exist and they should compete in other ways. Attempting to Fear monger open models out of existence to prevent a colapse of business value is reprehensible. Especially considering all of humanities data copywrite or not was used for training, that just adds a special kinda F'd up to the whole thing.
