AI is weapons now. Need a gun license to buy and operate pistols (Opus), assault rifles (Fable) will be highly limited, even higher tiers of weapons will only be accessible by corporate and state-level actors - we might not even know they exist or what they're capable of. Democratization of AI is dead. Gen pop is completely asleep to all of this so its going to get locked down in the name of safety before anyone even wakes up.

Fortunately the 2nd Amendment exists.

And allows banning fully automatic weapons and licensing.

How do I legally own fully automatic weapons in the US, then?

The gov chooses to allow you too. However, since Heller, the Supreme Court has made clear, that is not a right.

In the US, guns are apparently safer than Anthropic AI models :)
