tszzl warns open models nearing superintelligence: offense dominates defense, US and China will intervene

AI researcher tszzl says he loves open models (running a Kimi K3 finetune on tinker) but warns that free distribution of open-source models approaching superintelligence could go badly: "the offense dominates the defense," and both China and the US would then try to control it. Replies raise whether labs would cap inference speed (e.g., no Cerebras-level tokens/s on frontier models) as a capability control.
