Then wouldn't open source models running on commodity hardware be the best way to get around that? I think one of the greatest wins of the 21st century is that almost every human today has more computing power than the entire US government in the 1950s. More computer power has democratized access and ability to disperse information. There are tons of downsides to that which we're dealing with but on the net, I think it's positive.

Does it also means the US government has x1000000 more power than the one in 1950 ?

speaking strictly from an energy standpoint (power grid, megatons of warheads, etc).. it's probably close to that number.
