IMO the distinction doesn’t matter, as even the remnants of these companies are radioactive.

I don’t mean that from an anti-AI angle, either. The people involved in them are sucking innovation into a black hole, on purpose. They’ve politicized AI by enshittifying it so quickly, without an ounce of shame. There is nothing to gain by seizing and nationalizing OpenAI/Anthropic, even if we miraculously stop a “bailout” and get rid of the leadership cleanly.

Better to put what they have in the open and start over with a new entity.
