You remember how, not that long ago, some dweeb got suddenly and instantly famous by arguing that AI would kill us all by the end of the decade? And how many liberty-lovers were not having any of it?

It's one thing to patrol the nation's borders, oceans, airspace, and even outer space. It's quite another to declare a massive new technological innovation something that needs military control.
That's basic socialism (if government owns it) or fascism (if the government controls it while corporations profit from it).
