   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.

      Or perhaps they've been saying this for literally decades because they earnestly believe it.

         If they believe it, they can stop. All of them. There's no sign though that any pacing/slowdown or whatever is in place, zero.

            I don't think that's how the market works. Anti-slavery regulation didn't stop slavery either, just moved it abroad. Same for trash handling regulations, it's just shipped abroad. Falling behind on useful AI capability is obviously not in the interest of anyone, so either all players coordinate, or an arms race towards ??? it is.

            It may very well be self serving what they're saying, but that doesn't mean it isn't simultaneously true.

               Hence the argument that they're either full of shit, or psychopaths who need to be stopped at all costs.
