It's pretty simple. You're hearing "We're so scared of the AIs, we need to reign them in" from the very US companies building and selling them for two reasons:
- They're about to IPO, and it's amazing marketing for them
- They want a regulatory moat, since they're deeply worried about the open weight LLMs. They want everyone dependent on this tech and to be *the only ones legally permitted to dispense it*.@cwebber also the regulatory environment is super lax right now so they feel emboldened to just casually have a conversation in the open amongst themselves about how they plan to be less competitive with one another

@cwebber It's interesting because on the IPO thing it's a win-win. A company that wants to IPO sounds powerful and important. A company that *doesn't* want to IPO, such as OpenAI whose IPO would probably underperform expectations if it happened tomorrow, can point to the "alignment" "safety" concerns as an excuse to put the IPO off ( https://bsky.app/profile/dryad.technology/post/3mve53u5jb22i )
This demonstrates how much more powerful lies are than truth. Presumably a truth wouldn't usually prove *both* a thing and its opposite
Now, I want some input from mathematicians or philosophers!
"Presumably a truth wouldn't usually prove *both* a thing and its opposite"
I seem to recall that Gödel had some stuff to say about that...

@cwebber If you substitute "AI company" with either "drug dealer" or "pharmaceutical company", then all of their playbooks become very familiar.

Keeping it legal to compete with the AI companies is important! But people who think local LLMs can never be valid might not see it that way.

Would that even be possible?
I think its also important that Deepseek released v4.1 flash just before the weekend with tech (most of the model is on normal ram or even ssd and 8gb in vram) and at price points that no US company can even hope to match currently. I would be shocked if the teams at Kimi and Z.ai haven't been breeding from that model greedily over the last few days.

but Trump doesn't want to even regulate the AIs, so we're in a lot of trouble

They know their customers are not loyal and are sensitive to both price and perceived quality.
Establishing an anticompetitive cabal fixes that problem.

Would the US regulations reach that far? (pardon my ignorance, in Europe i can use either :P)

Dude, nobody is growing anything in the world of AI except their egos and bank accounts.
It's not doing anything it wasn't programmed to do, and it won't. Ever.

Unless they've very carefully segmented and air-gapped the LLM portion of the compute, there's going to be giant chunks of the cloud going dark.

Don't worry, everything will be alright.
