Naval: AI models trained on open web should be opened after ~12 months

In a conversation with Nivi, Naval Ravikant argues that if AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI train on the open web and open data, the government could fairly require them to open their models after roughly 12 months. He sharply criticizes Anthropic for preaching doom while "building God" without accountability: "We don't want a priest controlling God for the rest of us and interpreting the Bible for the rest of time." The proposal ties open training data to mandatory model openness, framing closed frontier labs as self-appointed gatekeepers.
