I think Dario's about to learn very quickly that making overly-hyped statements around safety to generate market interest is likely to result in regulatory reactions that don't just entrench his position as a market leader, but also severely curtail his business options.

You can't claim that your models are so good that they're basically weapons and then act shocked when the government starts imposing export restrictions on them exactly like they do for arms manufactures. Dario's recent blog post on "saving democracy" via regulatory capture and banning open weight models also mentioned export controls but just for chips, not what he's selling.
