[Verse 1]
OpenAI built something new and sharp
A model so powerful it raised the bar
But before you log in and try the key
The U.S. government said — not yet, not free
They flagged a cybersecurity review
And now they're handpicking who gets to use
Only Trump-approved customers cleared the gate
The rest of the world is sitting there and wait
[Chorus]
The government's deciding who gets the tech
Holding the velvet rope around the deck
New models exist but the door is sealed
Power on the shelf, not yet revealed
Washington's calling the shot today
Choosing who gets to play, who stays away
AI is ready but the key's in their hands
June twenty-seventh — now you understand
[Verse 2]
WIRED ran the headline clear and blunt
"Here's why you can't use them" — right up front
WSJ confirmed the access freeze
Government security, if you please
Computerworld said the U.S. told them straight
Restrict the model, control the freight
The most powerful tools in the digital age
Locked behind a government-stamped page
[Chorus]
The government's deciding who gets the tech
Holding the velvet rope around the deck
New models exist but the door is sealed
Power on the shelf, not yet revealed
Washington's calling the shot today
Choosing who gets to play, who stays away
AI is ready but the key's in their hands
June twenty-seventh — now you understand
[Bridge]
Meanwhile out in Indiana
Taylor University opened up the door
Bachelor's degree in AI and Machine Learning
A whole new classroom worth exploring
And columnists are asking with a grin —
Is it artificial stupidity wearing a thin skin?
Big questions, big access, big debate
Twenty-twenty-six is moving at that rate
[Verse 3]
Windsor Star says we need to learn to speak
The language of AI, not hide or shrink
Prompt by prompt, we figure out the craft
How to talk to machines, front to back
But even if you master every phrase
The newest American models are locked in a maze
Learning matters — but so does who decides
Which humans get to sit on the AI ride
[Verse 4]
Some say it's national security at play
Others say it's politics blocking the way
Allies and partners left outside the fence
Waiting on a waiver, waiting on sense
The technology races faster than the law
The rules keep changing everything we saw
One day it's open, next day it's controlled
That's how the story of twenty-six gets told
[Chorus]
The government's deciding who gets the tech
Holding the velvet rope around the deck
New models exist but the door is sealed
Power on the shelf, not yet revealed
Washington's calling the shot today
Choosing who gets to play, who stays away
AI is ready but the key's in their hands
June twenty-seventh — now you understand
[Outro]
Access, power, approval, review
That's your AI news — twenty-twenty-six for you
