New take.

It's not marketing.

The private american companies are scaremongering to get ai regulated. Why? Because their Chinese competition is open source.

They are scaremongering that ai is dangerous and existential and needs shut down switches and the like. They want this despite it being a pain in the ass for themselves because it will force all open source ai into legal problems that closed source ai in private companies will not have because of "kill switches" and the like.

They are losing to Chinese open source ai and want to weaponise fear into regulation against open source.

I'm still convinced that this is America's last ditch effort to corner the international management of empire. AI systems aren't meant to actually do anything useful, they're meant to be something that destroys the global PMC and attempts to centralize all business and personal management under their system.

It won't work, but the US has no real labor base anymore. They need to have managerial systems they can export.

This is of course just the logical endpoint of "big data" and the tech boom. They spent years collecting every bit of data they could and now they're gonna do everything they can to cash in on that.
