What kind of AI do you want employed in a government setting that doesn't follow the policies of the government? Additionally it sounds like the capital is net new. Which means if the government took no action, the would be no capital. Is it inappropriate for the government to offer programs to encourage things it wants? At the other end of the spectrum, the government punishes companies that do things the administration doesn't like. In the middle, the government does nothing. It would seem to me that the alternative here is something everybody doesn't want, no?

When it comes to the design of super intelligent models, it matters very much. We're standing here designing neutron bombs and arguing about who gets to decide what the targeting criteria is. That should matter to absolutely everyone.

  Oh come on, LLMs are not neutron bombs, the hyperbole clouds the conversation...

    Fair enough. I do hope it successfully sold the seriousness of the issue to our more emotionally driven readership.

      It's not that serious, is my point.

        It absolutely is. LLMs are already being used as mediums of information access and will continue to grow in that role. Information filters/access has a huge role in informing public sentiment, that makes LLMs a massive propaganda vector to be employed for whichever purpose it's controller's wish. Their effectiveness IN that role is also likely to be beyond anything we've ever seen before.

        Literally everything an LLM can do can also be done by a human (and substantially worse), but for some reason you inherently trust them? Hammers are better at hitting nails into wood than a human hand, but we're not all losing our minds at the fact that you can also smash a human skull in with a hammer. The laws apply to the human not the object, and that remains true here.
