AI Billionaires Want You to Save Them When They Need a Government Bailout |
When they fail, they want us to save their bacon by demanding that “the public” deserves a government bailout.
Step right up, folks! Please don’t crowd! No need to shove, plenty here for everyone!
Welcome to the Bonanza Extravaganza of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) “BOOM.” Silicon Valley billionaires are now proposing a scheme to deliver an unbelievable windfall to “every citizen.” Tech titans like Sam Altman of OpenAI are pushing the federal government to create a “public wealth fund” to let us commoners be investment partners in building the AI wonderworld.
Lest you worry that this might be a corporate scam, note that President Donald Trump, the deal-maker-in-chief, exults that letting the American public buy into the tech booms is a sure bet to “make them rich.” And Altman adds that a public investment fund would allow Joe and Jill Schmo to “participate directly in the upside of AI-driven growth.”
Wow — benevolent........
