let them die, others will rise from the ashes that don’t require burning the world down to grow
Absolutely fucking not.
Nationalizing AI companies represents nothing more than a big tech bailout, leaving the American taxpayers holding the bag for the grandiose excesses, industrialized IP theft, and borderline fraudulence of some of the richest and most powerful corporations in modern society.
Hell no. No bailout for big AI.
They stole everything they have from the people, and if they are too stupid to figure out how to turn unprecedented plagiarism on a global scale into a viable business plan, then they deserve nothing more than to fail outright.
NO.
WHAT THE FUCK, BRUCE?
This is otherwise known as a TAXPAYER FUNDED BAILOUT. Socialize the loss, privatize the gain.
Let them burn in the fire they set.
No, a bailout would be that they get a big payday to continue as normal. Nationalization would mean the government takes control and it becomes part of the government.
Airlines were a bailout. Amtrak was nationalized.
It’s a bailout for life. It’s use bailing out every year for the rest of time. It’s still a bailout but it’s not a one time thing.
They are too big to not be bailed out; the loss absolutely will be a millstone around the budget for over a generation. This will cause a lot of suffering and make the rich richer and the majority of us much poorer
Edit: I was predicting what would happen, not what should happen. It’s very easy to state what the corrupted government will do. I in no way support what is surly inevitable by the wicked ones
I would expect the Marxist-Leninist recommendation would be for such an institution to be founded by the state, and owned by the workers that created it. Instead, this would be a capitalist government using taxes on what little wealth the workers in a capitalist system have to sustain a failing business created by capital.
Why would an ML user support a capitalist bailout? Unless of course… the capitalism is coming from inside the Marxist-Leninist house! Ahhhhhhh!!
From space to telecommunications, the US has a long history of fostering technology for the public good.
This one sentence alone is enough to dismiss the entire knob-slobbering article in my eyes.
Edit: A word.
I think that no matter what happens we’re going to foot the bill. There’s no way in hell these assholes will ever face consequences of any sort. They already destroyed consumer electronics markets, and will bring the rest of the economy down with them if they fail, but they themselves and the parasite investors will never lose. We’ll have to pay…
If we are going to suffer anyway just shut them down permanently so we aren’t paying for their society ruining bullshit.
I’m up for nationalizing them as long as we do it the right way, by which I mean paying the investors nothing and executing the entire C suite
