I get that regulatory capture is a bad thing if done for the reason of creating a moat, but where is the evidence that creating a moat is the primary motivation here?

AI researchers aren’t close to a consensus on the potential for bad alignment outcomes, so isn’t it possible Altman is warning of something real?

That's fair in principle.

I think if this needs to be captured and controlled, it's unfair and unreasonable for it to be a high margin business (since the margins would stem in substantial part from a government granted monopoly).

I'm certain low margin stewardship isn't what Altman has in mind.
