This feels like a performance designed to launch this guys career in some "ai safety thinktank".

If he really did work there for the last 3 years doing what he said, he probably doesn't need a new career

I wonder how many of these are false flag operations. Pushing for AI regulation, after the market has been captured by the 2 top dogs.

I.e. employees are choosing to quit their jobs to run a false flag operation?

If I may ask, could you elaborate on what you mean?

Capture a market. Become big enough to jump hurdles XYZ due to scale and amount of, say, lawyers and compliance officers you can field. Then push for more compliance. It’s effectively a moat and one of the most durable kind since lawmakers aren’t very agile. It also opens a second front (first front being: product) to go up against newcomers. Kindly point out to the regulatory agencies that they are not compliant and demand enforcement due to “equal playing field”.

To make this point concrete: KYC in banks in Europe is on a scale of 1000s FTE per bank. No newcomer can ever comply with KYC the way big banks have implemented this by pure meat. Trouble ensue for all newcomer. That’s a moat!

See the second sentence.

The idea being that the employee(s) quit in order to run the false flag? Are their other historical examples of employees quitting to run false flags?
