Nobody can regulate themselves, that's like... the whole point of regulation

Expand that to any of the toddler-brained tech bros and you've got a plan started.

Because we want a bunch of 80 year olds telling tech what to do.

They already do that. Doesn't make the Elons not also a problem.

Spoiler alert: No business regulates themselves effectively. Those that do only do it under duress of govt doing it if they don't.

In other words, this is more corporate propaganda trying to vilify open source LLMs because they can bypass regulations.

They can't, businesses explicitly are incompatible with self-regulation. I'm not saying let's overregulate the hell out of everything and stop all growth and prevent anything from being possible, but I think there's probably a middle ground here.
