The subtext is that OpenAI wants to lobby the government the same way Anthropic seems to be doing, and especially trying to counter Chinese models by e.g. banning them in the US, just as Chinese EVs are effectively banned.

> Compounding the problem, labs in China often release dual-use capable models as open-weight. Once a model is open-weight, safeguards that do exist can be removed, making the model available to any state or non-state actor to use for malicious purposes, including the cyber and CBRN misuse those safeguards were built to prevent.

OpenAI wants to ban Open Models because they can't compete. Maybe they should go back to their open vestigial org for help
