AI companies are burning money pits... don't make me the tax payer the patsy who pays off the unimaginable debts of AI companies.
That's exactly why there's a chance of it happening.
Socialise the costs, privatise the gains. Bail me out, daddy!
Given the size of this bubble (WAY bigger than 2007), the taxpayers are going to hold the bag. We might as well force the companies to share the benefits (if any) as well.
Currently, there are no profits, tho.
Either the entire tech industry, and any business that relies on the tech industry (read: most businesses) explode and take modern human society with it... or every human the world over contributes in some part toward letting them continue their death march towards human extinction. What a choice.
but think of the CEOs for a minute, they still gotta run the AI, whether through predatory government contracts or predatory private business

4th house...? What are you, some kind of shit eating peasant...?
