    Bernie Sanders has read the room and determined that what people want is for the gov't to give "AI" companies a shit ton of money...Man, fuck that guy.

    oligarchwatch.substack.com/p/a

    "His discussions included an hour-long meeting with Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has called for AI companies to be 50% state-owned."

    For those coming in late, that's just a stealth bail-out. Scam Altman says "OpenAI has a one trillion valuation," and so we hand them $500 Billion. Great idea, Bernie! Much socialism (for the rich)!

    "OpenAI...loses a lot of money...But if Trump forces the public into “a partnership” with the company, it immediately becomes more plausible that the federal government could use taxpayer dollars to cover OpenAI’s costs."

    And if you don't understand what's going on here, I kinda think you just don't want to understand. Bernie and Trump singing from the same hymnal, both trying to hand money to billionaires. Do you get what's going on here yet? Well, do ya?

    Think it through: the US gov't buys into the big AI companies; now when people are protesting a new data center, they will be fighting not only big tech, but also the US government. And if you think the US gov't would use it's ownership stake to stop data center construction, I have a lovely bridge to sell you at a very reasonable price!
