    The only “existential threat” is corporations monopolizing the use of simple tools that anyone should be able to replicate.

      Companies like OpenAI are only engaging in these discussions to engage in regulatory capture. It does look odd that OpenAI’s board got rid of Altman for ethical concerns, he launched a coup to usurp them, then started implementing dubious changes such as ending their prohibition on war use.
