Unfortunately if the frontier labs that care about safety stop or slow down unilaterally, that doesn’t make the problem go away. It makes it worse when labs that do not care at all about safety, or deny that it is even a problem, are leading the way. That’s why there’s needs to be some form of international regulation.
Incidentally this regulation won’t really touch the US providers - at least it sounds like that’s the plan if you listen to current US admin
We literally cannot touch them, as that would be the first domino to topple in our economy. There is too much money concentrated in this sector, and adverse regulation would create an investor shockwave that would send us into a full blown depression.
Which ironically is also the outcome of letting these companies continue unchecked. If they produce AGI/ASI, our economy will go through an upheaval that leaves vast tracts of the population unemployed. This is their stated goal.
We are damned if we do something, and damned if we don’t.

Important people will loose too much money on their tulip investments, so tulips must go up forever?
Seems like a "less pain now or more pain later" type situation.
The impression I get is that there is absolutely no coherent plan at all for any type of regulation us domestic or otherwise
