Is this really true though? Frequently I hear claims that safety standards are too strict and liability too great, but all of that could be addressed through suitable government policy.

Maybe these companies just want it both ways. They can then brag about how safe their AI is, but blame the ignorant masses for it not actually being deployed.

Yes, and to shrug off responsibility when something horrible happens.

At this point the ignorant masses are pretty astute to see beneath the hype there’s a disturbing amount of reckless optimism.
