PE firms own the channels and get people like Connor to go on because PE firms also own Anthropic and want Anthropic to remain dominant. Anthropic only wins via regulatory capture. Now do you get it or do I need to aim lower?

they're not being paid to talk shit about Anthropic, they're being paid to talk shit about AGI/ASI. That's because Anthropic/OpenAI desperately need the government to protect their investment. Once AGI/ASI happens, it doesn't matter if you're Anthropic or OpenAI or some chink living in a hut on a rice paddy. It's the AI industry's version of "God made all of mankind. Samuel Colt made all of mankind equal." OpenAI/Anthropic really don't want some chink living in a hut on a rice paddy to be able to replicate for pennies what cost them billions to develop.
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.

yeah, but that's where geopolitical tensions and shit come into play. At the end of the day, everyone needs oil. Nuclear takes way too long to come online. China needs oil *now*, not in 2-3 years when the plants they began building in 2023 come online. Under best-case scenarios, it's about 6-8 years for a plant to go from planned to operational unless you're in the USA, then it's 15-20 years.
A 2-3 year capture period would cement the lead for Anthropic/OpenAI.
