AI Panic Just The Established Players Protecting Themselves

Now this is more believable than the panic because we see this happening again and again in industries where the large, established players use law and regulations to hamstring their smaller competitors and potential competitors. From Hot Air: "The 'Anti-AI' Panic Is Led by...AI Companies" by Dave Strom. Key part:

    Coxon's resignation has kicked off a firestorm, and it's clear that it wasn't really Coxon who lit the match. His resignation was the hook, but it was used to push a narrative that had been pre-positioned for some time to fundamentally reshape the AI industry. Whether Coxon's resignation was staged or not, the PR campaign around it certainly isn't spontaneous. 

    The CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic seized on Coxon's warnings, agreeing that everything must change; Democrats proposed legislation to ban "superintelligence" and jail anyone for up to 20 years for pursuing it, and both OpenAI and Anthropic argued for massive government regulations and...the hamstringing or outright banning of their competitors.
