Trump fired the bozo who didn’t have time to secure our military working dogs from Afghanistan, allowing the savages to do unspeakable things to them… but did have time to stage a photo op with multiple takes as the “last man” out.
Forced retirement is the moderate option.

[J J @jturntdev]

Sooo let me get this straight.

GPT 5.6 was delayed to the masses, but not the ultra elite?

We’re only deserving of the dumb watered down models, whilst they access frontier?

Cant just be me who only sees a negative outcome to this??

What happened to OpenAI’s “AGI for everyone”

[Dark Skies @DarkSkies48733]

@JenGriffinFNC When did you last work with the deepstate or are you still working for them?

[Dark Skies @DarkSkies48733]

@TRobinsonNewEra British and European men are insufferable and weak. It will not happen.

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

History will not forgive Dairo for his AI fear theater.

The open source community tonight will reject Anthropic for life.

[Dark Skies @DarkSkies48733]

@haider1 Never thought I'd root for China surpassing American AI, but thanks to Trump and his administration, here I am.

[Dark Skies @DarkSkies48733]

@PeterDiamandis WTF? Seriously? Seems like with your statement you are advocating for a techno-fascist state where there is no privacy, no freedom and no ability to do anything other than what the government or those in power want you to do.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

Note how Silicon Valley oligarchs rapidly went from preaching "libertarianism" to openly promoting a techno-fascist dystopian police state.

Because they never believed in the "tech will set you free" myth; that was just propaganda. All they care about is maximizing their wealth.

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

The US government is going to destroy the American AI industry.

OpenAI just confirmed that GPT 5.6 will release in a limited preview to a small group of partners.

The government is approving access customer by customer.

Anthropic got hit harder.

Fable 5 and Mythos were suspended entirely two weeks ago.

Two government interventions in the same month.

Meanwhile China ships GLM 5.2, Kimi K2.7, and Qwen 3.7 as open weights to anyone with a download link.

The US is gating its best AI.

China is giving it away.

We are losing this race in slow motion.

This needs to change.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

They spent $5.5M of your tax dollars on this. For 100 beds. That's $55K per bed. If you were to simply give somebody $55K, they could rent out a room in Van Nuys for 5 years. But then no contractor or NGO is getting their beak wet on the transaction. See the scam yet?

[Jesse Eckel @Jesseeckel]

Approving “customer by customer.” Who gets access to the most powerful AI models.

This is actually INSANE.

Who wants to live in a future where the goverment and the elites have infinite access to an intelligence vastly smarter than the smartest humans while the average person gets stuck with a neutered “government approved” version.

[Jun Song @jun_song]

Everything I've been posting about is coming true right now.

- AI regulations dividing social classes
- Hardware prices becoming completely unaffordable

Next step is accelerated price hikes on consumer gear as everyone rushes to buy hardware for local AI.
If it gets bad, you won't even be able to find anything in stock.

Then comes the real restriction: they'll figure out a way to regulate local AI.
Blaming the power grid, banning Chinese models... they'll find a way.

It's not too late yet.
Set up your local AI today.

[James Rosen-Birch ⚖️🕊️ @provisionalidea]

ngl it’s kinda wild that China is the land of hypercapitalist competition fueled by open-weight models anyone can use, and America is the land where the executive branch of government must personally approve you to have the privilege of giving a private company your money

[Lee (Greater) @shortmagsmle]

The DoD spent 20 years awkwardly crafting a PT test that obese black women could pass while losing a war in Afghanistan. Very very few of the high command at the time should be taken seriously.

[Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge]

Half the world wants to move here, going by Puerto Rico. 4 billion people.

Meaning we could cherry-pick the top 0.1%.

Instead, we take the dregs so Democrats can flip states blue.

[ADAM @adamemedia1]

I warned about this.

AI is over in the west. It will NEVER get better than it is now.

All western AI advancements from this day forward will ONLY benefit the Epstein class.

Thanks for playing everyone.

The only hopes are China and open source.

[Ben Pielstick @BenPielstick]

Things are getting legitimately dangerous. Fable 5 is banned. GPT-5.6 is banned. What happens when Deepseek v5, GLM 5.3, MiniMax-M4, and Qwen 3.8, are released? Do US corporations drop outdated domestic models? Does the US ban the use of foreign AI?

[Rational Aussie @rationalaussie]

This is the worst possible outcome.

If this is the future of AI you may as well just admit your economy is now communist.

The government deciding who gets access to frontier intelligence is no different from deciding who gets to work what jobs, because intelligence IS your modern economy.

If the government is going to restrict the public's access to state of the art models, then we are on the path where the only way to escape the permanent underclass is to work for either an AI Lab, or the US government's national security apparatus.

They will develop AGI underground and not give you access. Instead, you'll get access to the heavily distilled, woke, 'safe', approved models that parrot whatever bullshit propaganda the government wants you to believe.

Meanwhile they will use AGI to extract all of the surplus from all markets, and develop a surveillance state to keep anyone from ever toppling them.

[Kevin DeAnna @VDAREJamesK]

Fascinating.

Now confiscate the business and throw him in jail.

[Tony Seruga @TonySeruga]

Stop asking how it happened and open your eyes. 😉
