This isn’t as alarming as it seems because some things are proven true now:

1. LLMs can help create other better LLMs

2. If Anthropic is able to reach this ability, others can too

3. Intense work is being done by every chip manufacturer for local inference. Engineers want this. We’re headed toward this

4. These companies ultimately know that their moat isn’t permanent. Maybe not today, maybe not in 6 months. But it’s not forever

5. This stuff has so much research and eyes that policies like this rub people the wrong way. And it rubs them badly enough that it creates the friction necessary to make better alternatives
