Some of them may be wrong enough to try, be that hubris or lack of awareness about the world; but 95% of the world isn't in the USA, and China in particular has no reason to care what US domestic regulations are about… well, anything really, and while the EU is even more cautious about AI than the AI companies themselves, we also don't trust the US and open models are a sovreign solution for us to at least bootstrap with.
replyIf it was about killing open-source, why did Hugging Face state that an open-source model was essential to responding to the previous cyberattack?
replyBecause Hugging Face is not allied with OpenAI or Anthropic and does not wish to see them entrenched.
replyThe point is that this type of stunt is far too unpredictable for any competent organization to try. If it was intended to "shut down open source", it immediately backfired.
replyAnd regardless of whether or not these rogue agent attacks are deliberate, OpenAI should be prosecuted and investigated for their role in allowing them to occur.
We can't open x links as X is suing privacy respecting proxies, so I can't assess which David Sacks you are talking about, but if you mean this guy [1] orbiting the likes of Thiel, Trump and Kennedy jr, than that isn't quite the endorsement you should be looking for.
Thiel thinks regulators are the anti-christ, doesn't believe in democracy and has surely not your or my interests in mind.
replyBut yes, regulatory capture is surely a thing. At the same time, watch out for the siren songs from the overlords. If you come closer you'll hear their actual line: "rules for thee, not for me."
This is almost certainly the same person, yes:
reply> Additionally, he is a co-host of the All In podcast...
The comment you replied to linked to an account on X called theallinpod, so there's a strong link there.
> so I can't assess which David Sacks you are talking about
replyYes you can. Just open it on X.

replyRegulatory capture has been one of the most consistent market failures in western economies, and an incessant threat from large and powerful companies.
replyI'm sorry if it's not sufficiently novel of a concept for you, but it is still a problem.
It can be a problem, while also not being this problem.
replyAh gotcha, regulatory capture doesn't exist because the term is overused on the net.
replyWait who is the parrot again?
