It’s been intentional for a while and serves multiple purposes Promotion: “the thing we’re working on is so powerful it’s actually dangerous” Restrict who can compete: “the model is too dangerous to release, here’s how you make it but no you have to train it yourself for X millions cost in compute time” Vendor lock-in: “the thing we’re working on is so dangerous we can’t let it off our servers, so you must use our servers and pay us to use it” It’s all just a result of AI being paper driven and having to release your research but you need to find ways that releasing the research doesn’t let the competition catch up too fast. The little act they keep doing and pushing to the press is becoming tiresome though.

Explain the coming economic depression: sorry buddy, AI took your job. Really, it's not the fault of the government or the corporations. Blame the AI. Now please move your tent; there's no camping in public here.

My youngest child knew the other two could catch-up to him when being chased, so he "threw" stuff in their path and closed doors to slow the others down and stay ahead. Houdini famously started a rumor that he had a natural ability to dislocate his shoulder to discourage competitors. AI corporate moves are obviously littering the path for healthy competition and trying to convince others that the resources required at too great for any other company. People here have claimed that the best way forward would be to develop SETI-like AI shared global compute, but other people are claiming that's impossible. Developing a shared global network of compute may be the only "open" way ahead for many challenges, and it certainly makes for interesting times.

  I see it the same way. These companies are just building moat by using concerns as excuse.
