Usually, tech companies work as hard as they can to lobby the government to avoid regulation. In a usual tech bubble, these kinds of comments would be the lede:

“The technology is moving extremely fast, and there are few formal procedures, but they also don’t want to overregulate,” said Dean Ball, who was a senior adviser on A.I. in the Trump administration before leaving last year for the Foundation for American Innovation. “It’s a tricky balance.”

You can tell how desperate these LLM companies are to get a fig leaf of legitimacy before they run out of runway that they’re willing to accept government regulation to get it.
