be wary of using open weight / open source models from China. Minimally ensure you are always using an air gapped sandbox. China's not giving any open source open weight models to us out of friendliness and kindness and love and kumbaya. I think that there is a very deep strategic plan, it's a political plan and it works to their advantage, not to anyone else's advantage. And I think we all need to minimally be aware of that because I think that there will be a point to where China will flip that switch and things can go sideways in a major way. There is a concern, I think. Of course, I think that he what he's doing here is he's when in Rome, do as the Romans and so he's talking to a lot of people that this is in front of the US Senate or Congress and what I think he's doing is he's pitching his story in a way that will try to increase fear and uncertainty, knowing that the people he's presenting to are in a very deep and entrenched political game between China with AI and that's the forefront of their mind and so he's drawing attention to the open weight Chinese models without necessarily calling that out and then also creating it creating a narrative that is making it seem as though the closed model companies are the good guys and it's so great because everything's in our control and all of that stuff, you want that. So he's telling I think a very one-sided story here that it really aligns to big tech propaganda future. And keep in mind they're very smart and they're very slow on their activity so they're not going to show you any sign of desperation where they need to trigger these bad things right away. It's going to be a slow burn. Very much like if you're not familiar with the XZ Utils lib backdoor, you can read up on that but that was a two and a half three year effort that what we believe are nation state actors from China and the whole purpose of this was to inject a massive exploit into the Linux kernel to sow distrust of open source across the open source community. And I think they succeeded in that.
