alt Hacker Newswhat Dario wants is to retain any influence whatsover on how the research progresses before the inevitable nationalization of the frontier. he gets to keep the N-2 tech and maybe influence the N-1 tech, but the only influence on the frontier he has is today; whatever he imprints in the pipeline the government takes over.
IOW I don't think he thinks in the same categories as most folks here.

Hacker News has been telling me America beats China at "innovation" because of the "freedoms" - especially frew enterprise. I wonder how a nationalized frontier lab would perform.... Andhow the non-citizen researchers would feel about working for the US government that doesn't trust them to use frontier models.
