OpenAI to Stagger Release of GPT 5.6 at Request of U.S. Government

not sure if its fully real, the source is twitter and this weird paywalled website, but if it is, fuck. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/trump-administration...

Wonder how long before the gov. drops the banhammer on Chinese models.

So the trend here is government slowdown of AI releases to the public. No discussion around monetary incentives either. I expect a negative response from markets as this basically means that the party bus just got pulled over.

Is polymarket the best source for when the actual release happens? Slightly sarcastic, but also ample evidence and charges for insider trading in the US government this year

I’m fine with this as long as they immediately approve me in particular.

Ban on Chinese models is coming on pretty soon. Seems unlikely they're going to shut down openAI and anthropic, but not foreign models.

I’m surprised to not see more commentary on this one. Much as folks may dislike AI and/or frontier labs, this is not good for capitalism, or democracy for that matter (given the actions of the executive govt today). Seems the writing is on the wall for increasing inequality not just financially but now intelligence and economic opportunity as a result. This will be particularly painful for startups and early stage businesses / SMBs that will be perpetually a step behind (likely multiple steps behind over time) companies with connections (especially those that are not above paying for connections in the admin). I’d suspect bans on open source models to follow, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it hits hardware as well to fully close the loop.
