without the pedo-in-chief getting his cut

Anthropic's and OpenAI's stupid models are not going to end the world, and they are not so good that they need to be reviewed as national security threats. Trump and his friends are insanely long the AI trade, and are inflating the importance of these two companies, which both have a pretty high chance of failing. These stories are really press releases to inflate the value of these two companies and their entire ecosystems in order to push stock prices and raise more money at higher valuations for the two major LLMs and xAI, Musk's steaming pile of garbage. This is a pump and dump.

Predictive models, which are what Anthropic and OpenAI produce, are also not Artificial Intelligence. They are predictive models. This is relatively mature technology that is still very glitchy and simply does not work. I have spent decades in the IT industry, and it is supposed to improve efficiency and accuracy, but the LLM's seem to do the opposite.

While Trump hinders the whole US AI industry and puts the thumb on the scales for his favorites, China is rocketing ahead with open source AI instances that are pulling the rug out from under the US frontier companies. Does anyone think that the Trump administration has enough smarts to accurately and quickly deter the ‘safety’ of AI models? Oversight is required but Trump and his minions are bungling it. As expected.

And if it can be guard railed to be safe then maybe the little guy can get fable so he can compete with these big corporations. You know the thing about closing the gap between the super rich and the little guy we support.

These models belong in the hands of the common man just like the internet does 30 years ago.

The internet isn't going away
and a.i isn't going away

Both are tools and the little guy needs them.
