    I’ve never seen CEOs work so hard to make the public aware of how dangerous and out of control their flagship product is. It makes me automatically assume they’re scheming about something else like regulatory capture to protect their market.

      Yeah it seems like it went from “AGI” to “threatening” / “recursive self improvement”

      They’re trying really hard to do something, no moat = regulatory capture + China scary + Pentagon biggest customer seems plausible.

      Also: “we need to slow down, this is too dangerous” and then literally all AI CEOs, even Musk, publicly nodding felt so orchestrated. And then, the week after: “here’s GPT 6! here’s Opus 5.5!”
