My expectation is that government has already stepped in quietly and worked out an arrangement where they have unfettered access to the most advanced/dangerous models, and the public's access will be continually throttled from now on in various ways.
If this has happened (or is about to happen), it is difficult to predict what the ramifications could be. But I do believe we are entering another Cold War in this way. And I don't trust our leaders to always do the right thing, to put it mildly... even if they created a purely benevolent superbeing that only wants to reduce human suffering and make the world better, I don't think they'd listen to it over the other superbeing which simply wants to make sure all of its owners' perceived enemies get pwned.
Things could get very ugly and we should have responsible adults with critical thinking skills at the helm. It does not appear this is currently the case, or that the electorate is willing/capable of doing much about it.
