I can’t really speak to what’s going on jn terms of overall scope as that blueprint is still only schematic and will depend in part on a functioning general AI system that’s not yet built but agree there are powerful interests looking to gain more power and control. How that will be accomplished is an open ended question still evolving. This all seems far too clumsy an attempt at any larger goals you are referencing. I do think it’s a mistake to label them as directly for several reasons.. This looks more like a rinse and repeat of what Naomi Klein calls Shock Doctrine - making use of chaos and conflict to narrow and confine more and more general freedoms, rights and speech in an attempt to keep ratcheting down on these one bomb and click at a time until we’re acclimatized to a new type of digital serfdom.
