I spent quality time thinking about this last night, there is one and only one reasonable motivation that would possibly stop them from doing so - to avoid being killed by the CIA
The whole thing is no longer a startup being disruptive
Why would the CIA get involved in the financial value of NVidia?
The US has been trying to find a "space race" challenge to justify its military spending increases for a while, AI is going to be that, but it's more driven by the US oligarchy than the US MIC this time.
That means that it's going to be driven by financial wealth accumulation instead of power accumulation.

the AI race between China and the US is going to shape the future of our generation. CIA has all the motivations to just eliminate all those core Chinese members as they pose direct national security threat to the US dominance in AI.
you need to be really naive to not being able to see these.
The hype over AI being somehow the "future" and replacing every/anything of the current generation is completely over the top.
A couple of years ago, it was VR/AR (2nd time around for VR, it had been hyped in the '90s), before that it was "cloud" etc etc.
The CIA is not going to be going around assassinating AI developers, any more than they are going to kill the people working for ASML because they threaten US dominance in chips.
"Ah yes, because comparing AI’s transformative impact to VR’s niche flops or dismissing cloud (now the backbone of modern tech) proves you’ve got the insight of a dial-up modem. Stay salty and irrelevant!"
