> I would really hope that nobody considers AI companies to be foundational to the economy
The way people in the US government has been speaking and acting goes against that hope. Instead, it seems to be unanimous that AI will be the foundation of the economy, the US can't lose its leadership on it for even a second (because when it takes over, it will take over in a second), and it's worth breaking every rule, spending every cent to keep, and cannibalizing every other industry if necessary.
Honestly, you have to deal with the delusional con-man in power ASAP.
