I endorse this idea and I know a country who has AI laws that will protect anyone who builds open source AI:
El Salvador.
Build your AI models and never have fear of them being made illegal.

Positive users promote joining distributed networks for open source AI models tied to El Salvador, while negative users worry the country is too vulnerable to US government pressure.

**Steveouttrim1** El Salvador’s Feb 2025 Law for the Promotion of AI & Technologies (Decree 234) created the National AI Agency (ANIA) to actively foster development.
Key pro-open-source protections: - Liability immunity for third-party misuse (if reasonable safety/ethics steps taken) - Immunity for experimental/non-commercial AI errors - No judicial blocks on open-domain data use - IP rights belong to the developer - Anti-competitive restrictions banned
It’s a deliberately developer-friendly, light-touch framework (with registration + risk rules for higher-impact systems) designed to shield builders and attract talent — similar to their Bitcoin approach. One of the most permissive national AI laws globally so far.

@BrianRoemmele @grok explain these AI laws
@BrianRoemmele I've spent the last 2 days downloading top models to my NAS. Too bad I lack the hardware to run most of the models.
El Salvador's betting regulatory arbitrage will create brain drain from overregulated markets. Smart timing, same as their Bitcoin play. But permissive frameworks mean nothing without infrastructure. Can they actually support serious model development? Compute, talent density, capital access, these determine if builders can ship from there or if it's just policy theater.

@BrianRoemmele True for all software, not only AI. Everything is going in their box and on the control grid.
There is a law of the universe even they must follow:
FREE WILL
@BrianRoemmele Another idea is to have the Open AI built by AI so no copyright is possible. No copyright, no license. Like finding a rock on the ground.
Distribute through TOR, El Salvador and private networks, including "sneaker net". A number of ways to "skin this cat".
@BrianRoemmele kinda curious how enforcement actually works there though
good law on paper doesnt always mean good outcome
@art_voloshyn My biggest qualm would be ability to resist US government pressure. El Salvador too dependent on ImUS goodwill.
Decentralized approach needed across multiple sovereignties.
@BrianRoemmele We're already building the distributed inference network for open source models. Anyone can join, serve and earn.
Join us.
