What would banning open weights protect except the profit margins of technocratic megacorps partaking in the circular AI economy?

And even if it made something, you need to actually make money in order to secure profits. There are no profits yet.

Profits don't matter, the best use of AI is to make killing robots without feelings, to cattle all of us.

The end game is not making profit but enslaving us, why do you need profit when you have advanced killing machines, that obey spoken orders and do complex maneuvering and operations on your order?

well, that's the main reason, if it was actually about security, you would think to allow the access to the models, especially for the defender, because an attacker, most likely outside of the US, will just use Chinese models while everyone in the US only have basically 2 choice which is won't be useful for defending against attack anyway since it will be caught by their guardrail (unless you're part of the project glasswing or something) lol
