I am pretty sure that the goal of these companies at the end is ruling more than what governments can.
Just look at the pattern... they collude, they provide to them whatever is needed, and at some point, if this is not true yet, they will be the ones who will tell them what to do or not, bc you know how humans are, right... blackmailing, mess up the business or shames of people, etc.
It is just a matter of time. The state, as we know it, will collapse or will be greatly reduced, which, from a point of view, is positive, from another, Idk, bc if someone replaces that, we will be in the hands of someone, as usual...
And then powerful local LLMs become feasible and everyone and every government self hosts and the megacorps lose all power.
Imagine the United States DoD, CIA, NSA training an LLM on all its top secret intel.
Pretty sure?
Guy this was openly stated more than a decade and half ago by all the current oligarchs
