"our burn rate is insane, let's all calm down collectively, fortify our moat so we can do regulatory capture & rent-seeking for the next 50 years"

At this point, should we consider if AI agents are making these arguments on these online forums to skew perception and divide humans?

I, as a human, would greatly prefer just another corporate entity with economic funny business over AI destroying humanity

Sure I’d prefer neither, but what are we talking about here? Nearly everyone building these systems is outspokenly concerned about grave consequences. Existential.

That is what they are claiming. I do not believe them.

Then you aren’t following researchers or know anyone working at these companies
