damn, never thought about this - but yeah this is where we are heading.
open weight models - will be deemed too risky to be out in the open - since they can be abused by "bad actors" (unwashed masses)

- theturtletalks 4mo agoI wouldn’t be surprised if they started going after open-source as a whole and labeling it “communism” like the old Microsoft days.
- helterskelter 4mo agoSo much of everybody's infra depends on FOSS. I think every industry giant would dogpile whichever politician tried to go after FOSS as a whole.
- theturtletalks 4mo agoThe government could give those companies exemptions or give them time to LLM-wash that open-source code directly into their code so they have no dependencies. Those companies will be thrilled because they got the benefit of open-source and now are throwing down the ladder.
- anthk 4mo agoGood luck fighting the FSF and the GPL. The whole industry would crumble tomorrow if anyone dared. 1929 would be a joke in comparison.
- peder 4mo ago100% this is the direction all govts will go. This isn't specific to any political party, it's just about communications control. I don't think open source models will be directly capped, necessarily, but all commercial/easy-to-setup models will be heavily regulated.
