    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.

          If their activities materially increase the probability of human extinction and this poses a risk of potential loss to shareholders then they must disclose it.

            So just Elon & Google, mainly?
