I think ultimately this is an attack on open computing, the idea that people should own computing devices and run whatever software in them.

That's because if things keep advancing at this pace, in a couple of years, we will probably have Mythos-level, open weights models running on consumer or prosumer GPUs. Even if it takes a decade, that's no time in the grand scheme of things. And when the time comes, what will government do?

They will probably regulate who can buy GPUs and other tech that can run powerful AI, and what are people allowed to do with them. Probably using trusted computing and remote attestation and so on.
