I think it's a good example of how the left and right differ on pattern recognition / experience.

The left think if they control the AI, then they'll have the upper hand socially, and get to decide who gets the cushy jobs and who gets protected. They aren't thinking about money, just hierarchy.

The right know that if you handicap AI for a situation like this, that China, Japan, Russia, will just continue business as usual, and end up with the economic advantage.
