"top labs" in citation [2] Open AI and Deepmind. Y'all know ALL the founders are #TESCREAL bundle adherents?

Imagine if you were seeing the leaders of scientology being the ones leading the "AI" research, discourse, and policy recommendations & the press is talking about everything except that they're leaders of scientology & that's their motivating ideology for all this.
