- Michael Burry criticized OpenAI and Anthropic executives for calling to slow AI development, calling it 'self-serving'.
- Burry argued the slowdown calls are a cover for AI labs' uncontrollable slowing growth and a marketing ploy ahead of IPOs.
- He framed the calls as regulatory capture to thwart competition, and noted large language models are not artificial general intelligence.
- Other tech figures like David Sacks, Bill Gurley, and JD Vance also criticized the AI leaders' motives for urging regulation.
- OpenAI and Anthropic have submitted IPO filings, while their CEOs continue to advocate for slower AI development and government oversight.
