    Oldest trick in the book. Once you’ve established yourself as a market leader, regulations strongly favour you over smaller competitors since you’re better prepared to comply with them, especially if you were involved in shaping them.You’ll gladly trade slightly reduced profit margins for prolonged market dominance.

    Thus, it makes sense to trigger regulations, even if it requires you to embellish the truth.

      It won’t work. US regulations that don’t make sense will just shift the interesting product development overseas. As has happened in every industry up to now…

        It’ll work enough for it to be worth it. People don’t like jumping through hoops and often end up just going with what’s easily available. Enthusiasts will download Chinese LLMs but a large American corp? Not going to happen. Truth is, people like us are barely a tiny blip on the radar of commercial enterprises.

      They’re willing to sabotage everyone because they won’t be sabotaging themselves that much? That’s messed up.
