The money piles already invested will prevent that from happening.  As much as I like it, and I do, your solution is a lawsuit in the making.  You have to nationalize it to make current investors whole, and then immediately stop new data centers and mothballs those near completion using only what is needed now (to be decided by the national board).

It would force companies to spend their own money developing in house, which would make for a much better system.  As it is now ALL the agenic software is TOTALLY INSECURE.  Token use is counted and every prompt goes up to the tech bro monopoly, and every token is visible.  All the AI companies see EVERYTHING you do.  The asses are talking about how their own AI could be dangerous, while they watch everything everybody does.

Input tokens can't go into an LLM or come out of it without being seen.  It is impossible unless you have a total monopoly and promise you won't do any looking at the tokens before you process them.  You only count them.  That could be part of their plan.  Assert themselves as the one and only moral authority as they plunge America into the unknown.  If we don't control it there is no way it can be kept safe they will say.  And they all smile good.

As the money passes under the table the verdict will be.  Yes tech bros are fine upstanding Americans, and as our new royalty they promise to keep your secrets safe.  It is a new social contract.  Nothing to worry about.

Perhaps this little undisclosed fact that we can read all the tokens we charge you for has something to do with the pious smokescreen the bros now fart out.
