Concerns

The staggered release of GPT 5.6 at the government's request signals a troubling trend for capitalism and democracy, potentially increasing inequality in access to AI technologies.
The government's actions could perpetuate a significant gap between well-connected companies and startups, hindering innovation and economic opportunity for smaller businesses.
The potential ban on Chinese AI models raises concerns about fairness and accessibility, suggesting that powerful nations may hoard AI advancements for their own benefit.
