Jason: frontier investors will flip to regulatory capture to stop open source
aronchick · x · 2026-09-13
- Jason predicts frontier model investors will suddenly flip to regulatory capture mode.
- His argument: the biggest token buyers — vertical AI companies, government, enterprises — are embracing open source, putting frontier investments at risk or capping returns.
- aronchick sarcastically summarizes the official framing: it's "transparency and collaboration," no regulation involved.
- Jason's counter: safety means disclosure, and open source is the ultimate disclosure process.
