Oh I see, I misunderstood. Unfortunately, it looks like the intent may be to mislead regulators and have them waste time on more sensationalized “AI takes over the world” ideas, while they continue to make a profit off of more mundane forms of exploitation.

Never underestimate the capacity for shortsightedness and the ambition for immediate profit.
