You can see how this then becomes an existential threat: Anthropic/OpenAI executives likely already know that we're in a massive AI bubble, so they really cannot have chink models like DeepSeek encroaching at all on their already-negative profitability, at least not until they're able to permanently distance themselves from everyone else. However, model collapse might make it impossible to achieve AGI/ASI, which basically means once the frontier models plateau and the chink models catch up, OpenAI/Anthropic will never be able to recover its investment.

Regulatory capture solves this. If it turns out the tech won't work, scare politicians into thinking it will so that it can't.
