Regulatory capture is a risk but concluding "therefore we shouldn't regulate things" is an argument that doesn't work when there's a need to regulate dangerous things, except maybe with hard-core libertarians.

Like, should there be prescription drugs? If you say no, you should be able to get any drug without a prescription, that's pretty out there.

But the question is whether AI is that dangerous, and there's widespread disagreement on that.
