Fight for AI control?

The "sudden" fall of Nvidia CEO (and founder) and the biggest AI "boom" salesman
appears to be more than personal misconduct issue, but a proxy for fight for control.

Will AI tech be "centralized" or "decentralized"?

There are a lot of competing interests, and a lot to lose and possibly gain, 
so politics and big business are making and using the turmoil to establish or maintain control.

Complicated and consequential... Can't be just ignored, even if most people can't do much about it...

And some AI-slop fun :)
