    My pet conspiracy theory: Both companies have seen outcome saturation. That's not good for IPO's or PR.

    Instead, they say they will "hit the brakes" because of safety concerns and this provides a palatable narrative for logarithically improving models.

    This theory must assume also that all the "AI hacks" are actually a PR stunt.

    I think that's a reasonable position: Wimpy sandbox and major token burn and of course you get some kind of exhilaration.
