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.

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.
