I had a bad thought ages ago that there will come a point where governments will not want the people to have access to the best AI, because that will put power and tools in the people’s hands, power and tools that governments and the wealthy do not want anyone else to have. They don’t want us to be level or equal in anything, and AI has a great opportunity to be an equalizer and they just can’t have that. And lo’ and behold… Anthropic’s best model, Mythos, has been released… to the US government and Trump admin selected corporations… and that’s it. The people aren’t allowed to have it, because it’s “too powerful” and “too dangerous”. Then I learned OpenAI did the same thing with ChatGPT 5.6 Sol. Only the government and those selected by it. This sets a precedent to do this with any other frontier model now. The government and corporations get the best and most powerful AI while we get ones multiple levels below so they stay above us. So in the case of them using AI to do some really really nasty thing… there’s nothing we can do because the only AI we have is nowhere near that. I bet in several years, government selected corporations will be using frontier models to make entire 3d games from start to finish using nothing but AI, coding massive and extremely difficult projects, making entire movies, solving extremely complex problems, maybe even coming up with cures to diseases… and we won’t be allowed to use them. submitted by /u/Dogbold
