Oh, you mean it wasn't just concidence that the moment OpenAI, Google and MS were in position they started caving to oversight and claiming that any further development should be licensed by the government?

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

I mean, I get that many people were just freaking out about it and it's easy to lose track, but they were not even a little bit subtle about it.

Exactly. This is classic strategy for first movers. Once you hold the market, use legislation to dig your moat.
