While they frame the post as if this is a positive and something they want to do, reading between the lines, it sounds to me like something has them rattled.

They mentioned regulators here, and I would be curious to hear the story behind that.

Don’t want to go too tin foil hat, but it makes you wonder if a certain other AI company that claims to be “open” may be afraid of a company that actually is open and is applying political pressure.

Oh that's a certainty. They said regulators twice. It was no accident, they are telegraphing just how hard they got smacked behind the scenes.

Extremely likely that the FAANG lobbyists went into overdrive. The big guys know this will be an extremely important industry for the coming decades and don't want a new competitor swooping in with nothing to lose when established companies are forced to be cautious.
