Is it a companies fault for extracting value where you didn't see it earlier or is this an argument about Companies taking permissive-licensed code (MIT/Apache), barely improving it, and selling it?

Look, after stems came out this does not seem like a press worthy announcement. Imagine if your R&D was so curtailed you started to announce integrations like major feature annountments.

Lol no, way to discuss something not mentioned - do you work at one of these reckless companies? I'm talking about self-driving legislation, written by those wanting to test on an unsuspecting public.

I think the problem with controls, censorship and self-limitation is that as soon as you start to introduce these, your competitor wins. I will use the best model available to me that has the least amount of restrictions, which may not align with my worldview or the worldview of the model creators.

It may be difficult to put in protections when a nation's existence hinges on it's ability to exploit models without restrictions. What you are seeing now is a divergence in offering and intent: governments want unrestricted models yet want to control your use of the same products in a crippling manner. It's an interesting problem I don't know the answer to!
