OpenAI wants you to think of AI like a car.

OpenAI wants the U.S. to do that again.
The picture and 15 pages seem fine at first glance.
The pictures coffee cup has no handle.
The words written on the pages of the picture look like unreadable smudges.
The more you look, the more things fall apart.
The first thing OpenAI wants you to know is that AI is very important and very scary.
And how should America accomplish such ambitious goals?
By sharing as many of its secrets as possible with AI companies.
And of course, theres all that wonderful data just sitting around waiting to be scanned.
A lot of government data is in the public domain.
All it has to do is focus on building infrastructure for AI systems, if not people.
What does that mean?
OpenAI published its economic blueprint for America the morning the Biden White House announcedsweeping new regulationsof the industry.
Bidens new regulations will create a tiered list of countries that AI companies do business with.
On tier one is the U.S. and 18 of its allies.
Those countries are free of restrictions.
China and Russia are on tier three and no AI companies can do business with them.
The rest of the world is in tier 2.
They can have a little AI, as a treat.
But the White House will set caps.
These seem to be the kinds of burdensome regulations that OpenAI railed against in its economic blueprint.
But the regulation-friendly Democrats are no longer in power.
Everything could change in a week.
