It's also extremely myopic to believe that something which only costs a 6-7 figure sum will stay in the hands of the current techpowers LLMs are so incredibly useful there is no reason to believe every government with any modicum of money and technology won't want their own trained in their own language for their own purposes. Just wait until the Saudis throw some of their chump change at the topic. We'll have a 1T parameter model which "believes" in its core in Sharia, that Iran must be destroyed, and, well, maybe that Kafir had it coming. It won't even cost a fraction of another sports team and they can use it to classify anything anyone says in the country according to their dogma. (As a bonus, if it ever leaks anyone can just translate their prompt to Arabic and tell them the people you want to get rid of are Iranians)
