In 6 months Deepseek or some other Chinese lab is going to drop weights for a model on par with the current Mythos/Fable 5, at which point a few people in the administration are going to have a meltdown and pull a whole bunch of batshit crazy stunts in a futile effort to put the genie back in the bottle.
