   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.

      There are definitely economic incentives behind this. I’ve blogged about this recently [0]. My guess is the main reason behind this is that current SOTA models are already too expensive so it doesn’t make economic sense to train even larger models. Only exception is government paying for exclusive access to those.
