You are right.
The tech bros believe they should be running the world not democratically elected governments. They are using AI and crypto currencies to build a global political and economic system run by them, completely outside current nation state rules and regulations.
Politicians are asleep.

We're 3 hairs away from a chimp, we can't be trusted with LLMs!
