Startup founder rants against AI regulation: platform lock-in at $100k/year each plus frontier token fees
zealcaiden · x · 2026-09-17
An AI startup founder pushed back hard on regulation that would shut down his models/services, arguing it forces startups and small businesses into 10 platforms at $100k/year each, exposes them to steep frontier token fees and IP theft by routers/labs. He rejects the entire current AI market paradigm, says unqualified players are hijacking the mic while seasoned professionals who know how to do safety properly are sidelined, and vows to defend his company's right to exist by any avenue.
