why would that be the case? it's not true for top secret defense contractors today. and the frontier labs already operate in the dark, openness is a liability.

nationalization to me simply means the government is their main customer and stakeholder, and shield them from liability, governance, and openness. not that the frontier labs become part of the government per se.

I personally believe they already have this, why would the current government at least want to formalize this when it can have it with no public discussion.

Well we can say whatever we want if we have our own definitions for everything, no?
