- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese humanoid robots (FCC ban this year). Why? Because they're better.

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese EVs. Why? Because they're better.

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese drones. Why? Because they're better and cheaper.

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese-made network routers. Why? Because they're better and cheaper.

NOW, they want to ban Chinese-made open source AI models.

Guess why?

Because the AI models are great and also FREE.

Thus, the U.S. government wants to restrict your access to them and protect the U.S. AI cartel just like the automobile cartel and robot cartels are being protected.

This is PROTECTIONISM disguised as "safety."

After today's events, I'm rooting harder than ever for open source to succeed.

I'm also rooting harder than ever for U.S. frontier AI labs to financially collapse into bankruptcy and ruin.

Why? Because the danger to our world isn't AI itself. The real danger is AI being centrally controlled by the kind of scheming, nefarious, dishonest cretins who would engineered an "AI doom op" to try to scare everybody into supporting government controls over AI models.

THOSE PEOPLE are the danger to humanity. And they want monopoly control over all AI technology. Not to save humanity, but to ENSLAVE humanity.

In a future with AI, our only shot at human freedom is through decentralized, open source AI. And that's exactly what these frontier AI labs are now trying to stop.

Elon Musk says YOU are responsible for the output of an AI model you prompt, which is an admission that AI output is your expression of speech.

The First Amendment protects your expression of speech across multiple forms, including freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the freedom to gather in protest, and so on.

That means any assault on open source AI is a direct assault on the First Amendment, and that's exactly what Anthropic and this whole "AI doom op" is trying to do: CRIMINALIZE the First Amendment and block your expression of speech!

Just like I refused to be censored during COVID, I will NOW bow down to tyrants who don't like the AI models I'm running or training or modifying. All tyrants can f-ck off, including Bernie Sanders.
