This doesn't make any sense to me.
a) OpenAI just barely has a product. I mean it's pretty amazing but so very clearly just emerging. Regulation increases the barrier to market entry for other players, but OpenAI entire continued research, that is just about to maybe bear fruit, depends on upcoming regulations not fucking them over.
b) Right now, the lynchpin (and how this industry could realistically be regulated) seems to be a compute. For a lot of compute, you need a lot of money.
So here is what we are assuming: An evils genius OpenAI, that is masterfully steering American regulation to create a scenario in which, on the one hand, the most scary competitors (those with the big credit lines) will be effectively kept from entering the market, while on the other hand warding off any AI policies that run a high risk of impacting their own business more than anything else.
You claim people have seen such things before. I am not sure what you are referring to, but to me the above sounds exceedingly wild and improbable.

Sure. I really don't care about Sam. I just wish people tried to be a little kinder, for everyone.
