    My opinion is that they want to score military contracts. Once private money dries up because AI doesn't deliver 10x productivity, they can still convince the society to invest in AI because if the society doesn't, the enemy will invest in bigger AI.

    Case in point - atomic bombs. France paid through the nose to have own nukes. US and USSR had a very expensive dick measuring contest about it.
