The temptation of government control.

Yeah.

Not gonna lie, it was a terrible idea from him.

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.

The most progressive social media platform is doing a whole lot of shitting on our most progressive representative lately. I'm sure it's all totally organic.

Communists tend to be critical of social democrats, considering the question of advancing to socialism or reforming capitalism is an irreconcilable schism. It's absolutely organic.

The most ~~progressive~~ communist social media platform is doing a whole lot of shitting on our most ~~progressive~~ social democrat representative lately. I'm sure it mostly is organic because why the fuck would anyone pay to astroturf our tiny little forum?

No dude, his proposal is a genuine recipe for disaster. I mean, disaster for Americans not for the AI companies. Do you think 50% ownership in these companies mean governance? Maybe but it's not going to stop them from spending like crazy, which they already are. Bernie is framing it as democracisation of profits, but with an impending bubble that's about to pop, it will most likely end up with democratization of losses. What's worse this also would become a very nice excuse for future bailouts as now millions of people's wealth is tied to the companies. In long term, it's going to benefit the AI companies more.

This is a bailout with extra steps and bag holders.
