When I see the eye-watering amounts of money that sovereign wealth funds are willing to pay for talent, I get very concerned for our countries national security. They regularly throw out 7 figures for the right folks.
All you have to do is starting reading about DarkMatter or G42 group. Somehow, working in AI on training new LLMs can put you into a direct line to the guys who murdered Khashoggi
I think back to that movie "Cube" and the philosophical discussion they have about the creators of the system that they're in. They end up agreeing that the individual cubes were built for possible benign or even good reasons, but in their combining together does it turn into a "torture" chamber. That individual good intentions can be subverted at scale to have "tyranny" without the mitigating factor of the tramua that it normally induces is scary indeed.
