Do you sincerely believe Dario wants Fable to be restricted to US citizens only?


No, he wants regulatory capture. I think if the mask ever came off, he'd want the government to come in and crush Hugging Face, Civitai and any other distribution of open weight models, forcing everyone to go through an authorized provider like Antrhopic, under some bullshit about everything else being "too dangerous." He's no better than Sam Alternative-Man and any media disagreement is likely just smoke and mirrors to make it seem like they're two players in the field when in reality, it's getting incredibly cramped.

Why else would they demand age sniffing?

I do not want to give my private data to any company, yet alone those hostiles US companies that obey the orange king. Insanity has to be contained, not allowed to spread outside of the USA. So, no to age sniffing.

The UK is also suspect here. I don't understand why they are even worse than the USA here. Someone needs to fix the UK legislation - it is by far the worst. On audits they regularly detain people and pat them down. See Auditing Britain or DJ Audits; the US Audits on the other hand almost never reach that level of escalation. Something is fundamentally flawed in the UK.


The UK has been worse than the US on privacy and basically any privacy-adjacent right for like 50 years, if not longer.
