that is a bit taken out of context. they claim is that we need open weight models so other ais can distill. the bit you ripped out is about the legality not what they think is right. this post is abput making i open.

    Really? Because the more I look at it, the worse it gets!

    By contrast, unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns. Those concerns should be addressed through targeted legal and commercial frameworks rather than sweeping restrictions on techniques that play an important role in AI innovation.

    That bold part describes corporate capture. Mandatory "frameworks" for the companies that can afford to build them out.

    And the nationalism is all over. Just Ctrl+F "America". Here is Mozilla telling the government to put AI in classrooms:

    America wins the AI era by diffusing it into the workflows of factories, hospitals, farms, classrooms, and main street businesses.

    And here is the America First part a bit louder in case you missed it the first time:

    The age of AI can be one of prosperity. With the right choices, open weight AI can expand opportunity, strengthen competition, extend American technological leadership...
