Yeah the other fun move is: AI will be powerful and unbridled from human control enough to achieve great outcomes that humans cannot conceive of. But in the negative case: AI will not be operating outside of human control, it will not be handed immense resources to pursue goals (verifiably false given the capital and compute investment already backing AI).

It's not backing AI. It's backing humans to try and make an AI to do something.

What bearing do you think this has on the question at hand?

It's not verifiably false that people want AI to be autonomous and it's not true that it has been handed immense resources. People have been handed some money to make better AIs to do things.
