Argues the 2027–2030 AGI window requires a government-led AGI effort with Manhattan-Project-scale secrecy and security.
The National Security State will get involved in the AGI project, whether labs want it or not.
Sam Hammond
Foundation for American Innovation senior economist
Argues the U.S. must run a Manhattan-scale state-supported AI program because the alternative is either Chinese leadership or distributed capture by a few private firms.
If we believe AGI is genuinely transformative, then the question is not whether the state will be involved, but whether it will be involved with foresight or panic.

Bismarck Analysis founder; civilizational decline theorist
Argues frontier AI will be a state-led project regardless of present-day rhetoric; the United States and China have already begun this transition, and corporate self-regulation will not survive contact with great-power competition.
AI labs are pretending they are private companies competing in a market. They are not. They are vassals in a state-led great-power competition that will reshape them whether they like it or not.
