Considering governments murdered literally a million times more people than civilizations over the past hundred years, it's ironic they alone get the models wit

  The fundamental disconnect is that we as technologists believe we are entitled to technology. That technology should be open. And, for the most part, it is. However, if you look at the most sensitive technologies, whether it's nuclear weapons or until recently cryptography, they're never open. The risk of them falling into the wrong hands is too high. AI seems to us like any other software, as people who may understand it and its limitations. However, it's also a tool for unfathomable destruction -- not now, but in the coming years. And so restrictions are almost certain to happen, and according to many, justified. You're not going to have access to "un-censored AI" in the coming years. That's unfortunately reality.

    That is the thing though, those who historically pose the greatest risk to mankind (the heads of governments) do and will continue to be the ones with the greatest access and use of the most dangerous technology. To put it another way, we're all concerned (at least in 1st would countries) about terrorists and hackers being the greatest threat to people's lives. So we're comfortable giving the government sole control of weapons - even though statistically that's not an accurate representation of the danger graph. I don't know if it's good marketing or propaganda, but I find it ironic that "only government can be trusted".
