Redditor argues AI slowdown and strict regulation would only entrench incumbent labs

A Reddit user questions whether calls to 'slow down' AI and tighten regulation make sense, arguing on three fronts: strict rules are often co-designed by the biggest players and effectively lock out upcoming competition; halting open availability of advanced models would keep them behind closed doors for privileged groups, excluding ordinary people from the technology; and there is no guarantee any of this hysteria would affect Chinese AI development anyway.
The post is framed as an invitation to debate rather than provocation.
