The framing distillation 'attacks' is a propaganda psyop.

I applaud you for standing for Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI's freedom to price everyone else out of the market, because noone else will.

There's solutions to everything you mention and as I said, usually when sanctions are applied to countries, companies and individuals are meant to deal exactly with this. This could range from quanta mandates on the supply side (the RA

Yes, because we can't apply specific regulation for specific industries where it makes sense, we have to write them as if we were LLMs so they can be proven to 'not work'.

by Matl 3mo ago
Yes, it's better to not do anything right? After all 'the market' is working for some. No regulation would catch 100% of this, nor is it meant to. But it can definitely deal with companies opening international subsidiaries e

by Matl 3mo ago
That's why some regulation is not the enemy of the people that some want to make it out to be. Unfortunately, I think regulatory capture is so deep now in most places, one can hardly expect anyone to do anything about it.

What's the publicly stated/marketing reason for capitalist America to put companies on the Entity List? Genuinely asking. Because to me it screams 'we were only for the free market until there was no competition'

Yeah, like when Blow claimed he could replace PowerPoint in a weekend and ended up implementing a presentation software that had about 2% of what PowerPoint offers. Now there's an argument to be made that many don't need the remai

Yes, the Zionist tactic is to attack, deny, obfuscate, admit but claim that it is not at all indicative of a pattern. I only gave that example because it cannot be denied. The nature of such ops is to have plausible deniability, such as in

This excludes US based groups lobbying for Israeli interests, which does not count under official spending by Israel, so it is not an accurate representation of the lobbying effort in the interests of Israel.
