There are two groups of sociopaths here.

1 is the group you discuss, the ones that want to control the models to do what they want so they can control the future.

Group 2 is the ones that want models to be able to do anything, which is the group you seem to belong to. Of course in your desire to do anything yourself you find yourself unable to imagine the hellscape of a world that will be created when you release billions of agents that have little desire to fit in the rules of human society.
