It's not a shallow dismissal if you have been following their - let's charitably call it "evolving" - public posture on AI legislation. It wasn't long ago the same people/companies successfully lobbied the Trump admin to quash state laws that threatened to "Pace" AI, and set ground-rules for safety. Back then, open source models were very far behind the frontier, and their spiel then was it was imperative not to impinge on AI progress with red-tape, lest America's adversaries catch up. I challenge you to explain what triggered the about-face. The simplest explanation is that open source/Chinese models have caught up with the frontier, and the change in opinion is tactical (and obviously self-interested), rather than a deeply held belief.
