I’d like the American public to own the percentage of ownership stake as the portion of public monies that went into the development of drugs owned by for-profit companies.
Sure, but imo if that is the starting demand then it will likely be compromised down to nothing. Maybe if the starting point is "full nationalization with no compensation to shareholders / owners" then the capitalists could be forced to hand over a part.
But in the US I don't see how this could ever happen with publicly-traded companies short of a revolution - there's too much mercenary solidarity from the working class and the petitite bourgeoisie to the capitalists, with anyone with a pension, any cash savings, or some entire sectors bribed out of their own class interest with crumbs from the stock market.

The first thing the AI Bros want, and the absolute last thing I want, is for my country and social security to get entangled in a pyramid scheme.
I’m all for collaborative AI effort (like China) or some national funding to train open models as a utility (like Europe is trying but kind of struggling to get together). I’d be alright funding “infrastructure” companies like Huggingface or Cerebras, or maybe AMD/Intel with very very specific conditions. But Bernie’s proposal is basically the worst of everything.

This is a bailout with extra steps and bag holders.
All for nationalizing the tech companies but don't pay the billionaires to do it.
Doubt it will happen but if it did they will blame the inevitable bubble pop and depression on socialism.
