A post summarizing Michael Burry's views says he argues that current large language models will not become artificial general intelligence, rejecting the case for deliberately slowing their development. The post explains how costly evaluations, audits and government approvals could create entry barriers for smaller labs while protecting industry leaders. It also attributes to Burry the view that warnings about catastrophically powerful AI inflate the companies' perceived importance before public listings and could provide cover for slowing growth.
