OTOH, if they pass the legislation to “prevent dangerous models in the wild” I’m sure those models will be shutdown, at which point they can start charging cartel prices. Assuming the AI companies don’t become like the airlines: a cut throat business with almost zero margin, where all the value is taken by the consumers.
