alt Hacker NewsFor personal use I don't care if I get access to it. Tokens are becoming too expensive. I am using Chinese models. What worries me is that my company may never get access. I work for a well known US company, but from Europe, we also have developers in Mexico. I can only guess US gov will take this into account when deciding who gets to use the new models.
Even worse than not getting access is getting fired. Since less than 20% of our developers reside outside US and our management is suffering from AI hype, they can decide to close foreign offices as a way to get access to new models.

How is this a rational argument?
Are you so self centered that you only care about government decisions that affect ONLY the present you?

There's a big difference between being priced out of a market option and the government saying you literally cannot buy it. We should all be wary of government controls like this.
