> As Zuckerberg notes, concentrating power in the hands of an enlightened few has rarely produced the promised results; the practitioners turn out to be less enlightened in practice than in self-conception.

Pot, meet kettle.

The open models are now good enough. The rest of the world needn’t concern itself with the petty dramas of the colonies any longer

The US controls most of the capital in the industry, including most of the compute used for training. And also, NVIDIA, arguably the most important actor in the industry

The US military can come and separate me from my MacBook and Qwen if it likes. I dare it. Sadly however, I suspect they’re busy with other matters at the moment.

“ I have repeatedly argued for strong antitrust enforcement to keep industries competitive, especially Big Tech.”

Has David Sacks actually called for stronger antitrust enforcement? Not that he has total control of this administration but it’s gone pretty hard in the other direction in my observation.

The only thing David Sacks ever calls for is more money and power for David Sacks.

You know is peculiar how discourse evolves on the Internet.

So many folks have been posting Twitter links from this exchange in separate threads here on HN and arguing about them.

I’m sure these threads are being argued about in other forums and social media platforms.

Sometimes you get the feeling that there is one social media extravaganza going on and all the different forums and social media platforms are just conduits to access the extravanangza.

See how TikTokers make their videos and upload identical copies to their TikTok accounts and then also YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, etc etc

Each platform the same just a different lens into the same cacophony

This is a well-articulated post but we could address this in a couple of sentences: regulation for protecting people comes from grassroots campaigns by the people. Regulation for capturing the industry comes from industry lobbying. Is Dario the people or the industry? Is there a single person in this world so stupidly naive as to believe that Dario is just looking out for the people?
