Note that the threat in the Axios reporting OP is based on is no longer "we can't work with you" but now "invoke the Defense Production Act to force the company to tailor its model to the military's needs"
On October 30, 2023, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to "require that developers of the most powerful AI systems share their safety test results and other critical information with the U.S. government" when "developing any foundation model that poses a serious risk to national security, national economic security, or national public health."

These AI companies and billionaires won't learn any lessons, but I hope the likes of Marc Andreessen stop getting treated intelligent well reasoned actors in the media and on podcasts when they bitched and moaned about the Biden administration overstepping. If someone thinks the pragmatic approach to resisting reporting requirements and export controls is to cozy up with the devil who will force you into worse capitulations or just seize your whole company, then that someone (looking at you Marc) is a fucking moron.
