So Google, Meta, and Microsoft will just hollow out the best AI startups of their talent instead of buying them - out of fear of monopoly lawsuits I'm assuming?

Nice plan I guess. Kind of obvious to spot though.

This is the direct result of regulations. As usual regulations backfire. Expect more regulations to address this, surely they won’t backfire as well.

This is overly reductionist. The are plenty of laws that work well.

Any time I hear someone talk about more or less regulation, instead of talking about better or worse regulation, I suspect they are ideologists and trying to shift the narrative, or else they would be able to criticise based on actual merit.
