Anthropic is not on the side of the people. None of these companies are. They've made it clear that they want to gatekeep LLM capabilities.

These companies use safety and intellectual property as excuses to achieve centralization. But if you think about it for more than a second, they're basically saying "intelligence for me but not for thee."

I don't want to live in a world where a handful of entities control all of the intelligence, and I don't think you do either. The best future we can hope for is one where everyone can run an open-source AGI on their own gaming PC. And by run I mean local matmuls, not API calls to a remote server.

Safety and regulations very much can be used by companies as a moat to slow down competitors and inhibit future ones.
