1. Did you really think the feds wouldn't be involved?

AI is part of the next geopolitical cold war/realpolitik of nation-states. Up until now it's just been passively collecting and spying on data. And yes they absolutely will be using it in the military, probably after Israel or some other western-aligned nation gives it a test run.

2. Considering how much impact it will have on the entire economy by being able to put many white collar workers out of work, a seasoned economist makes sense.

The East Coast runs the joint. The west coast just does the (publicly) facing tech stuff and takes the heat from the public
