This whole thing is about being afraid that open source AI will suddenly gain sentience and destroy the human race, right?

They’re not actually worried about AI gaining sentience. They’re bullshitting. A better question is, why are they bullshitting? And I think the answer is some combination of:

Free advertising for their company.
To lobby for laws that:
- Pull the ladder up behind them;
- block Chinese AI from competing with them on their own turf.

Everyone stops developing but them.

But more likely they're playing out the marketing angle that omg they've made something so smart it frightens them

Think less sentience and more cutting into their market share or public/private partnerships. In another dimension or some shit the EU has real open source partnerships instead of like suckling at the teat of Microslop.
