The heads of AI labs are functionally cowards that would been the one at the first knock on their door by state agents. Some have preemptively bent the knee to get into the good graces of the Trump admin like Altman and Zuckerberg to accelerate their progress. While Trump himself might be out of the loop, his adminstration is staffed by people who know what AGI means and are looking for any sources of power to pursue their agenda.
I just think they’ll be easy to fool. For example, historically many companies would get political favors (tariff exemptions) by making flashy fake headlines such as promising to spend trillions on factories.
