I don't think it has anything to do with morality.

It is just leverage.

Miscalculation is the right word.

And: it is relevant. You gave away the relevancy yourself. It is called game theory. Games have rules. Break rules see what happens. Or instead be prepared.

Seems like someone broke rules but wasn't thinking through consequences or didn't care about them

Since all major LLM providers seem to be down: let's enjoy this while it lasts!

For a very short time we can travel back in time to before 2022 and remember how things used to be...

Is there a country that has implemented these ideas and where the results have been like you expected?

“Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.”

Re 2: Even if that was true penetration is still very low. If all companies start using AI at scale the demand will skyrocket.

I don’t know who is right or who is wrong.

The mere fact that people seem to be highly confused (I saw many posts about that the last week) speaks volumes.

Why introduce legislation that is so complex and hard to understand that people seem to be confused wether or not they’re affected. It’s highly irresponsible and arrogant thing to do.
