  Why the hell are they not fighting fire with fire? This is not sustainable. But it is annoying that the AI labs get to play arms dealer, selling to both sides.

    It'll be like radar detector detector detectors, which were a thing for a while. Each side (cops, speeder) buying detectors to detect the detectors.

    They don't have a choice. If you're a firm and you work with IE a bank, the bank uses AI, their whole supply chain uses AI- your counterparty uses AI- it's a classic arms race with even more social pressure involved (since daily news keeps banging on about AI).
