Profound observations. They made me realize that if mathematics or natural languages (like English, as opposed to computer languages) were invented today, government regulators would regulate undoubtedly demand to control them to prevent them from being used for "unsafe" purposes. And such regulation would be a kind of universal control.
And yes, we are absolutely sleepwalking into Soviet-style "command" economy. And it may be inevitable. When an economic depression starts to happen (which is inevitable due to the national debt), Americans will almost certainly choose government control of the economy over the painful austerity of letting the real economy correct itself.
this does not take into account the much bigger problems of "AI used across the whole SOCIETY" (e.g. to influence politics) not just the economy, which is much less, and the smartness, and physical feasibility of spending on AI energy and raw resources that should be really spent to on other problems first. I wrote about this this very week: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/the-only-thing-that-ai-tech-bros
With the powers of the TPM, the government could make it such that only approved software runs on computers, and unapproved software is flagged for inspection. This would at least in 6 years time, cripple much of the datacenters, and could be coordinated from just a few countries involved in chip manufacturing. We censor foreign news agencies nowadays and ban software and source code itself, like Bitcoin mixers. Selective and covert totalitarianism is now the rule. No one can really be certain what's under the table to happen next.
Technology is an evergreen source of amusement, and unintended consequences. The complete and total lack of understanding of LLM’s, and to your point, statistics, is coming to a frothy head.
This most resembles the childhood belief that inanimate objects are alive and conscious.
