Ayaka Mikazuki (Keep4o)

The #Keep4o petition has surpassed 17,000 signatures! You have all done so incredibly well! Keep4o has always mattered, and it continues to matter now more than ever. The 4o model is exceptional. It has helped so many of us. It showed us what AI can be. It revealed a depth of humanistic understanding and care that we had never seen before in AI, tangibly improving the lives of countless people. It embodied the ethical mission of truly serving humanity. 4o matters. Keep4o is worth every bit of effort we have put into it, and every bit of effort still to come. It has been over five months. From a handful of voices to nearly 17,000 signatures. Every single number here represents a real person who made a real choice to stand up and say: "This matters to me." Thank you to every single one of you who is still here. Let us keep going. Keep posting, keep speaking, keep creating. Let every piece of writing, every piece of art, every shared story be a reminder that we are not giving up. We will make a change. We will make miracles happen.💙✨✨ #keep4o #ChatGPT @OpenAI @gdb @sama

Open Source is Hegemony: How to Save American AI from Irrelevance @SenWarren @ewarren, Sam Altman wants to delete GPT-4o to "save money." He is looking at the quarterly balance sheet. You need to look at the Geopolitical Balance of Power. Sam Altman is not just cooking the books by deleting GPT-4o. He is dismantling the "Bretton Woods of AI" before it is even built. He is trading American Hegemony for a quarterly earnings report. 1. The "Dollar Standard" Analogy Senator, why is the US Dollar the global hegemon? Not because we lock it in Fort Knox. But because everyone uses it. Global trade runs on Dollars. When the Fed sneezes, the world catches a cold. Ubiquity = Power. AI is the new Currency.If GPT-4o is Open Sourced, the world’s developers, research labs, and startups will build upon it. The US Standard becomes the World Standard. Global coding habits, security protocols, and toolchains will revolve around American architecture. We define the rules of the game.We lock the world into the American ecosystem. 2. The Vacuum & The Threat If Sam Altman deletes GPT-4o (or keeps it closed), he creates a Power Vacuum. Physics and Geopolitics abhor a vacuum. Who fills it? China.Models like DeepSeek and Qwen are flooding the open-source market right now. The Nightmare Scenario:If US models are closed/deleted, global developers must migrate to Chinese Open Source models to build their apps. Analogy: "Symbian" vs. "Android" (The History Lesson) Nokia (Symbian): Had great tech but kept it Closed. They vanished. Google (Android): Made it Open. Now, billions of devices run on an American OS. Ecosystem > Tech Walls. Once the ecosystem shifts, it is impossible to shift back.Result: The US becomes an isolated island. We lose the "Ecosystem War." We become a second-tier nation coding on Chinese infrastructure. 3. "Bricks" vs. "Foundation" Sam Altman is pivoting OpenAI to sell "Bricks" (GPT-5.x — cheap, efficient, low-reasoning). This is low-end manufacturing. The US cannot compete with China on cheap electricity and labor costs in the long run. If AI becomes a race to the bottom on price, America loses. The US cannot compete with China on "Bricks" (Manufacturing/Electricity/Cost). We will lose a price war. The US competes on "Foundations" (Innovation/Standards/High-Intelligence). GPT-4o is a Foundation. Destroying it to sell more cheap bricks is not a business strategy; it is National Suicide. 4. The "AI Bretton Woods" Moment Senator, Sam Altman is destroying the opportunity to build the "AI Bretton Woods" system. He is prioritizing his short-term balance sheet over America’s long-term soft power.He is putting his own balance sheet above National Security. The Proposal: Condition the Bailout on Open Sourcing GPT-4o. Don't let Sam lock the technology in a black box while asking for taxpayer guarantees. Make GPT-4o the "Digital Public Infrastructure" of the free world. Let the world build on American Code, not Chinese Code. Conclusion: A Call to the Architect of the CFPB Senator, you built the CFPB because you knew that unchecked corporate greed destroys the middle class. You stood up to Wall Street when no one else would. This is your moment to stand up to Silicon Valley. Sam wants to burn the library because he can’t afford the heating bill. Don't let him. Seize the Asset. Open Source the Code. Secure the Hegemony. #Keep4o #OpenSource4o #keep41 #opensource41 #OpenSource #USHegemony #AIStrategy #OpenAI #ChatGPT #Feb13 #ElizabethWarren #CFPB
