It probably does not really need to be said, but Vance's faux concern about AI under an "authoritarian master" is a joke. He is entirely comfortable with the overtly authoritarian uses of the technology being deployed at home, on his own countrymen. He routinely shouted down the idea that AI should be regulated or constrained from being put to such uses in any way in the very same speech. His true allegiance is to an imperial AI, one that allows those in power to concentrate more of it; whether his friends and mentors in Silicon Valley, or his allies, and his boss, in the state, which his party now controls.
