Public access actually democratizes power rather than concentrating it-closed AI tools historically get misused by whoever controls them, while transparency creates accountability. OpenAI's own research showed wider access reduced harmful use cases compared to gatekept alternatives.

lol "too powerful" is such western fear-mongering, asia's been releasing advanced ai for years and somehow society didnt collapse, but sure keep gatekeeping innovation.
