This moment is too important to fuck up. In a fair fight, I'm taking America every single day of the week. But when you tie one hand behind the fighter's back by banning SOTA models. Then you tie another hand behind their back by adding sterilizing guardrails. And then you make the fighter fight from their knees by removing competition, you're just begging for the US to lose. This would be masterful strategic capitulation in the AI race, if true.

How to badly lose the AI race in 3 easy steps: 1. Shut down US frontier models ability to do frontier coding, security, and AI research. 2. Block all frontier models that can still do frontier coding, security, and AI research from US access. 3. The rest of the world can continue to use these models to do frontier coding, security, and AI research.
