Sam Altman is too stupid to realize he's arguing for nationalizing the AI companies.

I see it more as a mix of grandiose promotion (to investors) and and vague empty promise (to everyone else.)

"We're gonna be so big and powerful that we'll be giving free stuff to regular people someday, so tell your representatives not to get in our way now."

He will be perfectly happy when his friends crown him the AI czar
I’m quite sure he knows that this is exactly what he’s arguing for and would like his AI company to be one of the main regulated providers
He is saying that while holding Worldcoin as THE solution behind his back. He hopes to show it when the time comes.
He's not that stupid, he's just gaslighting people.
