Are you living under a rock and never read any of Dario's blog posts?

Let me give you an example, here: https://darioamodei.com/post/policy-on-the-ai-exponential

Section "1. *Regulation* and public safety" (emphasis mine), then under it:

> AI companies that develop advanced AI models must have strong security standards that protect their model weights

You can't "protect model weights" if the weights are openly available, ergo this is an explicit call for regulation to make open weights illegal.

Having looked at the sentiment around DeepSeek's models around this thread as well as my own experiences with it I'm going to need a little more to back up that assertion about OpenAI and Anthropic not being at least a little bit worried about DeepSeek...

I’ve been listening to this rhetoric about the open models eating O/A’s lunch for like 18 months, meanwhile their revenue is up what, like 50x?

May this kind of worry find me…

People like open models because they are free/cheap. It's not anything deeper than that. Most people will hop in whatever van is handing out free candy.

It’s about capability.

The model makers are bricking the models with their system prompts, and even the tools are tamper proof.

You can only use it their way. They think we’re stupid.

And their way is the shit way, the babyproofed way, while they talk to you about their unfucked models hacking out of their labs and hacking into other labs, and reminding you you have zero rights.

Fuck them twice, then once more… This is about compute. Who owns compute. China is saying fuck you all we can scale things bigger than you can imagine. And they can! They have so much more energy! Theyre closer to commercial fusion than us too. Meanwhile our guys are trying to… regulate? Lol

China won’t have more compute than the US for least five years. They’re highly constrained.

Five years is a long time
