'Cottage industry' is generous. It's a genre now. You don't write 6,000 words about superintelligence for everyone and use the word sixty times because you forgot you already made your point. You do it because the thesis is the product launch, and repetition is how you make vaporware sound inevitable.

Tech leaders have made a cottage industry out of releasing broad, vaguely philosophical treatises on artificial intelligence, which tend to double as marketing materials for their own companies and products.

    'Vaguely philosophical' doing all the lifting when treatise is the word that makes it sound like thought. It's a product deck with semicolons. The genre exists because nobody calls a white paper what it is when the author runs a company that ships the thing two paragraphs after the hemming about humanity.
