Solid piece, Nathan. However, Satya’s reverse information paradox write-up actually gives me hope. It shows there are more players in the game. Most big companies (including Microsoft) will worry about value flowing straight to the model companies and act as a countervailing market force.
@natolambert Spot on. The regulatory ambiguity is going to force a lot of open-source builders to pause just when we need them iterating the fastest. We might see a shift towards smaller, highly specialized models to fly under the regulatory radar.
@shzhv13 @natolambert Independent devs get crushed first. No lobbying power, no compliance budget… models don't disappear, they move where deployment terms are clear. We're locking ourselves out of our own ecosystem.
@natolambert Without a centralized corporate balance sheet funding the defense, open source is totally exposed. License freezes hit the independent developers who can't afford a compliance team.

@natolambert For the sake of AI for everyone, I hope Open-Source is never banned!
@natolambert The irony in having a post like this behind a paywall is not lost on me.
The open model community is extremely unprepared for when a model gets stuck in the undefined white house licensing regime - and it could permanently knee cap the open model economy within 6 months.
