The title of this article is misleading. It's actually a nice summary in how AI firms have conveniently forgotten their own warnings and predictions of the dangers of AI now that they no longer need to use that messaging in making pitches to investors.
I guess they realized they were only hurting themselves when the government wouldn't obey them and ban all the competition just because they said "AI danger".
It was clearly all a ploy to begin with.
What do all the people downvoting it based on the title assume it means?
My thinking is that it reads like the author is dismissing the whole notion that AI has risks and that the folks raising concerns were just repeating an overblown doomsday narrative.
That's what I thought and I expected to see a lot of promoting for the shiny new things and dismissing safety efforts as dampening innovation.
This is what the world is now. TL:DR, must react.
