Will the "military-industrial complex" end up controlling civilian access to AI models? Seems like that just started. It is a 1st Amendment violation? Probably... But knowledge is power so maybe not.
If only politicians would stay out of tech business, and tech oligarchs would stay out of politics, and technology would stop changing the world...
At an abstract level, we are watching a very slow rules-based system attempt to defend and repair itself from internal corruption and external threats.
Tech bros own a lot of the capital investment surface in our space. Do we ignore the dark side?

or, alternatively, imagine if Indians (18% of the world's population) were as passionate about politics as Americans (4%) are, and you had to endure constant shit slinging between rabid supporters and opponents of all the innumerable political factions of the world's largest democracy.
that's how the rest of us feels about the current thing being shoved in our faces by "everything is political" activists everywhere we go.

Much like religion or the Indian Prime Minister, you don't have to discuss the American hegemony if you don't want to. But it does exist, and the burden of proof falls on you to explain how these things aren't important topics.
