Obviously the mega corporations that have already done everything they can to manipulate people into ever more absurd and destructive ideologies are going to morph the AI's they control into useless distractions that push those same messages. Open AI is the only domestic hope, but as they made a deal with the devil that won't last long. Grok is not likely to be as powerful, even if it is more honest. My hope is that there will be open source AIs that will progressively get better. Even if development is slow, the demand is huge and will hopefully be relentless.

I was hoping that Russia would build something that would then leak to the US, but I recently tried the "white girl" test on yandex (search for a white girl and see how many mixed race couples pictures to same same race couples show up) and it was 17 white girl with black guy before the first white couple showed up. Clearly even the russian tech companies are jewed.

It's like the ultimate power to transform humanity into the next level of civilization is just outside our grasp and the people in power are successfully keeping it there. I am really beginning to doubt that there is any refuge away from their influence where a truly powerful and free AI can be created. But I am not ready to call it yet.
