   When the CEOs of these companies are saying that we will risk extinction and jobs will be decimated, why do you even need a "foreign agent"?

      Said CEOs are horribly biased, they have fiduciary responsibilities that make them useless judges on the relative risk/reward balance of LLMs and AI, if we get there.

         Claiming your product increases the risk of extinction doesn't sound like something someone would do if it were just for fiduciary duty.

            Ok.

            So… follow out your own line of thinking. Altman and Dario and whoever is at Google are all saying the same thing, and are all required to make moves better for business…

            Scaring tue gov into regulation - is good for business.

            Another mark in the “they clearly want regulatory capture” column.

               How about what all the other people who are not CEOs but are talking about this?

               Are we only going to accept arguments based on guessing at motivations or should we perhaps also evaluate the actual material facts?

                  I think we should ask chatgpt
