I think it's a combination of that and the worry that there will be one winning ubercorp that practically merges with the US Government.

I mean, they are all pushing all their chips in at the same time. It's like they know it's now or never.

    And govs are pushing it because it's yet another arms race.

    The logical course of action is to collectively just not do AI. But you can't prevent your adversaries from doing such, so it ends up being like some sort of prisoner's dilemma.

    I mean, they are all pushing all their chips in at the same time. It’s like they know it’s now or never.

    Even if they didn't, they probably don't want to seem like they're falling behind, so once one person goes all in, so do the others.
