kalomaze questions the logic of 'frontier labs get nationalized before selling API access'
kalomaze · x · 2026-11-08
kalomaze pushes back on the idea that frontier labs would become de facto nationalized as a primary revenue source. He argues the internal logic doesn't hold: labs already make API money by selling access to businesses, and only an extreme scenario — UK-style regulation requiring KYC and barring minors from ChatGPT-type products, with things having completely fallen apart — could make nationalization a binding constraint.
