New take.

It's not marketing.

The private american companies are scaremongering to get ai regulated. Why? Because their Chinese competition is open source.

They are scaremongering that ai is dangerous and existential and needs shut down switches and the like. They want this despite it being a pain in the ass for themselves because it will force all open source ai into legal problems that closed source ai in private companies will not have because of "kill switches" and the like.

They are losing to Chinese open source ai and want to weaponise fear into regulation against open source.

Containment breaking is overblown. The hype is to muddy the waters around laws determining who is responsible for the “crimes” of a robot. Ai companies signal they’d accept limits because all Vera Rubin components are already all spoken for, there’s no more slack in the market and they are busting at the memory constraints of gbxxx hardware.

When a company calls for limits and regulation it’s because the market has already spoken.

Also they’re probably pushing public launch of the 60 series back if you even get the privilege of spending two months salary on a 6050 this generation, gamer!
