My pet theory about why Anthropic and Open AI are pushing for a “pause” is because they are trying to angle for a government bailout before their bubbles pop.

Literally what I was worried about, that our corrupt as fuck US government would rather double down on the scam and start partaking rather than let the bubble burst.
They literally are going to fund the scam with tax payer dollars rather than just let the bubble do what bubbles do. Too big to fail bullshit.
It’s the dot com era, except 100x as corrupt environment where they can rob the tax payer rather than close shop. We are so royally fucked.
I don’t know about the U.S. government doing a bailout this time. I know that keeps getting repeated, but in the past they’ve only bailed out things people supposedly need, or don’t actively hate. Neither of those things are true with “AI.”
I’m sure they want to on behalf of their donors, but they also know America is a powder keg right now.
