Except the US government, right? They totally get to use AI to survel us, build autonomous weapons, you name it.
To hell with that. I want models that can rival the US government. It's the only way to defend myself.
Quoting my comment that you replied to and directly ignored:

That means "shouldn't exist for governments" too.
Too late for that. It already exists. There is no way to unexist it. As such, any attempts to limit civilian use of this technology will directly lead to corporate and government oppression powered by this technology.
1) We can prevent larger models from being made.
2) We can treat them the way we treat uranium refining operations: too dangerous to be allowed to exist.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) lapsed on June 12, 2026. They don't get to do anything they want.
The US is bold enough to surveil its own citizens despite their constitutional rights. They're not just going to suddenly stop surveilling the rest of us just because some law expired.
With an AI model and what army?
Just like those militias are going to defeat the US Armed Forces!
The idea is to defend ourselves in the digital domain so they can't dragnet surveil us, not to win a literal war.
