They're not immune to the law, the law is just written so that all AI companies have to do all the bullshit safety stuff that OpenAI was already doing. Now to be fair OpenAI's safety stuff is actually useful but it's useful for "programmable customer service agent" and companies that want to have a chatbot and not have it say fuck. But those tweaks aren't free, and come at the expense of model performance. So OpenAI pushed regulators hard on this and now everyone has to has to pay the same cost wooo! It means you can't chip away at OpenAI's market by being better than them at specialized tasks because you have a raw completely unaligned non-instruction tuned model you use for say generating code. Because that model could be used to write viruses oohhh spooky.
