Nonsense. The AMA doesn't limit the number of residency slots. Did you even read through the website I linked above?

"Waaaah we need more Staff Engineers at OpenAI but we just can't afford training them due to Congress not doling out enough for it, boo hoo".

Residency requirements are defined by ACGME. The AMA is a member of ACGME but ACGME operates independently. If you think that residency requirements should be changed then make a specific proposal instead of wasting our time with snarky, low-effort comments.
