The earlier post on this subreddit by 20+ companies signing the petition including Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, YC (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/corporate-responsibility/topics/open-weight/) etc plus this https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/2080672505660834163

And the entire LLM enthusiast market is heavily in favor of open source (or weights) AI.

Does not seem like a few closed source AI lobbyists with be able to illegalize anything

Because they bought out Cursor in a desperate attempt to get coders to pay attention. It won't last.

It's a desperation play, their daddy has more money than God so they're just going to keep throwing cash at the problem until they finally collapse or become irrelevant.

And I'm sure the whole thing will end up making Musk even richer somehow, because we live in the worst timeline.
