It's not completely pointless. America's "closed" labs have no moat. US taxpayer money should not bail out these businesses.
The "superintelligence will kill us all" shtick is definitely ridiculous, but it's not the only angle worth considering. From a zoomed-out perspective, there are lots of pragmatic reasons to diversify the economy away from AI development.

Industry hypes the idea that it’s an existential risk and is surprised someone takes this seriously?
10000% self inflicted.
If you walk around yelling “I think I might be unstable! I think I might kill someone!” why would it be shocking if, I dunno, a cop picked you up?
