The author worries that AI companies and governments are closing the door on private individuals doing math, science, and engineering research with AI, restricting it to special access tiers.
His take: if frontier players attempt to effectively nerf intelligence this way, open-source and private AI will accelerate to fill the massive void left behind — a个人观点 on research access trends rather than any concrete policy event.
