A truly illuminating and balanced article, the trademark of the house. The connection with nuclear energy is particularly relevant. There is a clear risk that the backslash freezes in a take no prisoners refuse as it was the casa with NE and the tech is seriously harmed or delayed. While one could argue that the (perceived) risks are less significant than in the case of nuclear the insistence of both the press and the tycoons of impeding doom may actually make the tech more feared than NE contributing to a long-term opposition.
I thoroughly enjoyed this well sourced, and thoughtful piece. I would add that there is an entire dimension that was not discussed, however. And that dimension is the cost of the economic growth associated with the AI revolution. If, as you say, the dissent is essentially slowing down the build out to achieve some kind of Democratic consensus, I think it important that the parties understand as well that the growth of this technology to the extent that it fuels mindless, economic growth, also compromises the future of the planet. Which is far more than an opportunity cost. It is existential. I would like to see something more written about the implications economically to the planet of unbridled AI fueled economic growth.

I keep a pair of wire cutters handy on my desk to use in an emergency.😀

Including the future of jobs, education, who has the ability to buy a home and consume, who pays taxes for the likely UBI etc.
I wrote about this last week from my perspective in Maryland, I'm really glad that others are seeing it too.... especially the community piece
