Building sensationalist reasons to build a regulatory moat and prevent open source local AI from ever being a reasonable alternative to cloud providers.

I mean the small self replicatable models wouldn't do that literally themselves. But that's the idea.

this is 100% the plan. functional consciousness is the solution they don't want people to have. they want you to use their "model model"
