THE 4-STAGE PLAYBOOK TO BAN OPEN-SOURCE AI? 🚨👀🤖
Connecting the dots across AI lobbying reveals a clear pattern: regulation looks less like public safety and more like killing open competition.
Here is the four-stage progression:
🔹 Stage 1 (Licensing): Big labs first argued open models were dangerous, lobbying for mandatory training permits.
🔸 Stage 2 (China shift): Facing pushback, labs pivoted to national security, claiming foreign models copy US code.
🔷 Stage 3 (Existential fear): Leaders declared unmonitored AI a threat to humanity that must be kept in closed labs.
🔶 Stage 4 (Crisis endgame): If leaders like Donald Trump resist rules, commentators warn a cyber emergency could be used to ban open models.
The money battle behind the safety talk:
🔹 Closed labs need tolls: Big tech poured billions into compute and relies on $20 to $200 monthly fees.
🔸 Open models crush moats: Free open-weight models let builders run powerful tools locally for zero monthly cost.
Are AI regulations about safety or outlawing free open models? 👇
