The fate of any sufficiently large American company is to become an instrument of American foriegn and domestic policy. More specifically, any big tech company at this point is a defense contractor, no different to Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon or Northron Grumman. At one point the British Empire controlled a quarter of the globe. The source of Britain's power was that it was a drug dealer empire, first tobacco, later opium. American empire is arguably larger and more influential than the British Empire but instead of direct colonial control, the influence is economic through puppet regimes. The US is an arms dealer empire. WWI, WW2 and beyond greatly enriched the US. You want to see what an arms dealer empire does with AI? Look no further than Lavender [1]. You may think you're removed from this, probably being in the imperial core. Unfortunately, the imperial boomerang [2] should make you question that assumption.
