   I think any argument that this is a cynical attempt at regulatory capture is destroyed by this; the economic incentives of releasing more capable models are too large. I might be persuaded that they are actually running out of money, and this is really just a cover for reducing burn..

   I welcome this though, I think the models are smart enough for broad economic activity and we could spend a few years simply working to integrate them into workflows and letting society adjust. More intelligence isn't necessary for meaningful impact and the risks that are obvious and present and unsolved aren't worth the cost benefit analysis.

      Really? You don’t think achieving regulatory capture far exceeds the gains you would get from releasing a newer model?

      Their objective is to ban foreign and domestic competition (including open source) via heavy regulation and achieving a monopoly status.

      Perhaps you are under the naive assumption that they are willing to compete in good faith?
