Software engineering is one thing but if you look 10-20 years into the future and everyone can run models equivalent to today's SoTA locally with zero monitoring or censorship, that could... not be good.

Some people will use them responsibly but a lot of people will not.

LLMs are already frying some people's brains and there are some human desires that should not be encouraged

That's why there won't be any local models in 10-20 years. The latest Chinese models are already hosted on proprietary clouds.

That's a wild assumption and most certainly wrong. Open models will continue to evolve with or without Chinese labs.
