The essay argues closed frontier labs risk concentrating too much power in too few hands, framing American open weights as the answer to Chinese open-source models (FT, corroborated by CNBC and Fortune). The sharpest lines: "I do not understand why anyone who believes that AI will eliminate most jobs and much of humanity's relevance would rush to build that future," and "The notion that AI is so dangerous that the only safe path is an extreme concentration of power seems inherently problematic." Meta abandoned the open-weights fight when it pivoted to a money-making model in December 2025. This is the re-entry. I don't think the essay's argument and Meta's commercial interest can be cleanly separated, and I'd say the same about Anthropic's position. Both things can be strategy and sincere.
