Or they just want to slow down the industry while secretly accelerating inside

🤷‍♂️

It's option 4: they're getting crushed by open source.

Do you think the Chinese are going to slow down?

Nope

🎯Yea, this, option 4 is it

Never

The Chinese have no interest in developing an AI that could challenge the CPC. The Chinese AI are much worse at offensive cyber security and it is on purpose. That is not to say the government there doesn't have access to the unadulterated models but they have little interest in unleashing an open model that could take down the Chinese Firewall.

Meh, still not convinced it isn't marketing. When these people decide to shut down their companies is when I'll believe them.

They’re withdrawing from retail the advance and consolidating their power for the next phase

The Chinese just reverse engineer our AI models. That’s how they created Deepseek. So I would think they will see struggles as they try to create their own models in a vacuum. Of all the software engineers I had worked with the ones from China were among the worst.

Someone posted this earlier, option 4 feels entirely plausible

There's an ulterior motive behind this

If everything they say is true, we should stop funding to AI and it will take over the world and kill everything, we act like it’s truly life and actually smarter than us but it’s not. Faster at certain things yes, smarter no

2. is correct

There profits are at risk and they want to moat from competitors

They are calling for Trump to make laws against open source models and people running local ai It's about controlling the market, forcing consumers to pay for their subscriptions to inferior products

Three sociopaths unite.

Scammers they are over leveraged and the only way to improve is more leverage. That’s all. . Ya ai super useful but fiat has broken the actual indicator. The prices for these hardware are pretty insane. And the new local models are super efficient are proving that hardware is not actually worth that much.

I would say they saw there is room for competitors despite the billions and they want to control the competition by regulations that benefit them

I always tend to go with E. All of the Above

I rate 2

Anyone who believes that the coordinated statements from the last few days by the big powers — Anthropic, OpenAI, X, Nvidia, MS, etc. — calling for a reduction in AI power, are motivated by a healthy concern for human well-being and not purely by business strategy, are completely wrong. This is my take: Today, AI development is completely deficit-driven. They lose billions of dollars every year on the creation and maintenance of enormous data centers. The only thing keeping the racket going is a circular economy between all these big companies. They issue debt to finance each other, which in turn buy each other's shares and contract each other's services. But this racket can't be kept running indefinitely — it's unsustainable. What they need is to reduce competition and secure clients willing to pay the real cost of the service. That's why their best interest is having the state regulate AI to the point of banning certain developments. The main goal is to nationalize AI, sell or lease it to the state, and ban open-weight models. In this way, these big companies would have a cash-rich client and eliminate competition from small developers and open-weight AI with one shot. And to be able to pass that law, they need to create a state of panic in the population that allows the state, once again, to abolish freedoms and rights in the name of false security. They've already started attacking open-weight models. Nvidia just bought Hugging Face, the largest repository of free LLMs. Microsoft bought GitHub last year. The strategy is exactly the same as with the fake COVID pandemic: Big pharmaceutical companies historically had to invest enormous sums of money in development over more than a decade before bringing any product to market. And then they had to recoup it in just a few years before patents expired, with no guarantee of profitability. Therefore, they wanted a scenario in which they didn't have to wait at least a decade to commercialize their products. Ideally, they needed to create massive demand to sell their products before they were even developed, so they could finance development with that revenue. And what better client than the states? So the best strategy to achieve that massive demand was, once again, by spreading panic in the population that allowed democratic states to pass laws mandating the purchase of those products to distribute to the entire population. The AI industry is the same dog with a different collar. AI is not dangerous; the danger is that it's in the hands of a few, which is precisely what they are trying to achieve.

It seems the obvious thing is that they want to monopolise the profits.
