> regulatory capture.

At least my stochastic parrots can come up with new content sometimes. Humans, on the other hand? I wonder how many times I'll read this phrase before we get paperclipped.

Regulatory capture has been one of the most consistent market failures in western economies, and an incessant threat from large and powerful companies.

I'm sorry if it's not sufficiently novel of a concept for you, but it is still a problem.

It can be a problem, while also not being this problem.

Ah gotcha, regulatory capture doesn't exist because the term is overused on the net.

Wait who is the parrot again?
