What's sovereign - the mob? The AI company? Being enigmatic for cool points isn't conducive to productive discussion.

My take is the commenter was implying something like "Yes, like the mob, but worse, because it is done under the auspices of a national government."

I got the meaning right away, but I can appreciate if others didn't. I didn't read it as intentionally enigmatic, fwiw. Sometimes short punchy comments really land, sometimes not -- it is a risk. As you can probably tell, I err in the other direction. (:
