Marc Andreesen on when he met with the government in May '24. He was told not to fund any AI start ups because government plans to control AI, to which he said:

“I don’t understand how you’re going to lock this down so much, because like, the math for, you know, AI, is like out there and it’s being taught everywhere.”

And the government said in response:

“…during the cold war, we classified entire areas of physics and took them out of the research community, and like entire branches of physics basically went dark and didn’t proceed. And if we decide we need to, we’re going to do the same thing to the math underneath AI.”

A would be controller whining about controls, ‘who’da thunk it’! Revolt of the technocracy? Hiding and suppressing anything which strips power from the people is as old as time itself. Wars are made of this. Take away the flour and the cocoa and there’s no chocolate cake. Just remove the cocoa, you can still have cake.
