@Dan_Jeffries1 hard agree.
There will be more and more pressure and more money and lobbying behind open soon.
It is not a "two big companies have all the power in AI" situation like some imagine.
The financial incentives are shifting away from single monopoly ownership and those companies will have a lot of power to push back against regulatory capture and overreach. We need this to happen a lot faster before the barriers are setup and destroy us.
That's because the opposite is also possible if we keep going down the road of closed.
The more our companies and governments gate and close off, the worse we compete in the world.
We are single handedly killing our own economy and competitiveness with stupidity right now.
Slowing rollouts. Half baked orders and laws. Outright stupid laws. Fear Mongering. NIMBYs. Luddites running rampant. Regulatory capture.
The future is ugly if we keep going down this path.
We're speed running dystopia.
But the economic winds are shifting. American business will have a lot of say in what comes next. They need to wake up and see that the regulatory capture and populism is not in their favor and that if we have to beg companies and governments for access and submit to face scans and upload our birth certificate, it will work briefly and then it will really start to hurt us, and then we simply will not be able to compete and we'll incentivize the rest of the world to run fast in the another direction.
