    This is a fucking stock manipulation ploy, just like every ‘rogue agent’ AI scare. The companies are not making promised advancement and their promised AGI dreams are dead. What better than to cook up an excuse that ‘le ebil goberment’ made us stop research than to face the investors who will ask what happened to all the money. Diffuse the stock bubble more slowly instead of a full on high speed crash.

      What stocks? Chatbot labs are not public companies and they aren’t remotely profitable.

        What stocks?

        All of them. Didn’t you read that like 85% of US stockmarket growth in 2025 was about the “AI boom”. They need people to think that this AI meme will actually work. AI is the floor that keeps US economy afloat rn, or at least illusion of normalcy.
