Do that and I guarantee some CIA goons will make the larger models in some black site either way. We're not "preventing" anything.

We're in a full on arms race, and unlike nukes, powerful AI models are a strategic capability at the individual level. Everybody's got a stake in this. Anyone who ignores this stuff is probably not gonna make it.

> We can treat them the way we treat uranium refining operations: too dangerous to be allowed to exist.

Too dangerous to be done by anyone other than the government and their "trusted" corporations, you mean.
