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.

They're trying to build up the barrier to entry so that other competetors aren't able to enter the space and take their market share. They're just cornering the market

How would this work with a pause?

What does a pause mean? I would think probably stop AI investments in some regard, so I would absolutely think it's about hindering competition.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
