it's all bad now...

How quick did we go from "AI will benefit all mankind" to ".. only elitists can have it"? In the space of a couple of months - The machines they said will serve us - are already turned against us.

China will eat our lunch if the US thinks they can sequester to the big company users -- who are less innovative than anyone.

I am not paying 200 dollars .. to get a 6 month old model. Antrophic needs to think fast

It's not an earthquake. It's the rug is being pulled from underneath you.

The most suspect part for me is only approved companies allowed access in the preview stage. How long before the preview stage becomes the same as the release stage and only approved companies can use the best models? It'll create a Cyberpunk type scenario where only the largest corporations are competitive in any industry and a startup just cant compete because their AI workers aren't as smart

Just because the government says no, doesn't mean the world is going to say no. Open source will make their "regulation" irrelevant.

"Take away the right to use frontier intelligence and you take away the right to know if you're being manipulated by those who have it." (Paraphrasing Lenny Bruce)

It’s shocking how many people were caught off guard by this.

We’ve entered phase 2 of the ai wars. Phase 2-the harness wars

Absolutely well said and the truth is that the people in charge have zero interest in any of us ever having a piece of their pie.
