OpenAI started fearmongering way back with GPT 2, arguing that model was too dangerous to release freely. That model was barely coherent enough for using it as a twitter bot. Anthropic just hopped onto that later. Conveniently, calling for regulation now would ease the competition from open Chinese models, opening the chance for both companies to eventually reach positive ROI, with consumers paying the price.

The burden of proof that this isn't just a publicity stunt again is squarely on them.
