#3It doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree, if I think ai is a net positive or a negative.
It’s too late.

#4I don't see how you can regulate it really.
Do you control the sale of GPUs?
And companies can just do it in a country without such regulations.

How is this different from everything else that’s regulated?

#6Why is this happening?
Who is causing it to happen?
Why do lawmakers feel it will be a benefit? Are they afraid of some outcome? Are they trying to induce some outcome?
This seems like fear + buzzwords to me, and it seems like we are about to get some really bad legislation out of it, by people who don't understand the technology or the uses of the technology.
EDIT: It also seems like it might be a connected-industry-insider attempt to capitalize on current public fear and uncertainty around buzzwords to get some anticompetitive legislation rushed through quickly in an effort to not have to compete in the marketplace on merit.

I think your edit sums it up. I would direct your anger towards people like Altman running around telling them to legislate so nobody else can compete. Politicians can’t know everything. You would think they could rely on the leading minds in AI to help explain the pros and cons to them but unfortunately those leading minds are self-interested greedy capitalists.

The most aggressive lobbying seems to be companies behind the game just looking for suppress and catch-up strategies. There are legitimate concerns and calls for oversight and transparency (e.g. in law enforcement use), but they've been drowned out somewhat.
The lobbying by Big Tech companies, including Alphabet and Microsoft, is something that lawmakers worldwide will need to be wary of, says Sarah Myers West, managing director of the AI Now Institute, another think tank. “I think we're seeing an emerging playbook for how they're trying to tilt the policy environment in their favor,” she says.

They can make life difficult for anyone seeking to compete with the (American) incumbents

I don't think so.
The hype cycle is hiding the inevitable trough / AI winter that will come when we get past the mimic abilities of LLM. When that trough happens, then there will be an opportunity to legislate before somebody gets it to do something game changing.
The trough is where the real innovation will happen, because desperation is the best motivator.
