Brief

Author @tszzl argues that claims the unofficial AI licensing regime is stifling innovation ignore how rapidly AI is advancing. The Mythos episode hastened oversight but was inevitable — earlier intervention beats waiting in an exponential curve. He welcomes federal recognition of the technology’s gravity, calls short public delays tolerable, and warns against leaving non‑Americans behind.

Why it matters

@tszzl claims the popular critique that an unofficial AI licensing regime is 'slowing down innovation' ignores how quickly AI is moving; the Mythos incident may have accelerated oversight but such intervention was inevitable and 'earlier is better' amid exponential growth (posted 2026-06-26).

Key details

  • He views federal attention as positive: 'models being publicly delayed by a week here or there is really not the end of the world,' though he admits current procedures are 'not the right way' and expects authorities to 'figure it out.'
  • He warns it would be 'very sad' if non‑Americans are permanently left behind and urges maintaining a 'pax technologica' led by the free world (and later the unfree world) to keep the frontier accessible.
Source evidence

today it’s popular to say the unofficial AI licensing regime is slowing down innovation or whatever but ppl are not looking at the big picture of how quickly this enormously consequential technology is moving

the particular circumstances around Mythos may have accelerated all this slightly but it was inevitable, and earlier is better than too late. any good choice will look “early” inside the exponential

i think it’s a positive development that the feds understand the gravity of this technology; models being publicly delayed by a week here or there is really not the end of the world. procedurally this is not the right way to do it but they’ll figure it out

one very sad outcome will be if non Americans are just left behind from the frontier forever. the “pax technologica” of the free world (and frankly later on the unfree world) should be maintained
