Big AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can [...] Startup AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can. [...] Open source AI should be allowed to freely proliferate and compete with both big AI companies and startups. There should be no regulatory barriers to open source whatsoever.
