Fuck AI

I think you misunderstand my point, I don't care about the financialized rationalities over these decisions. You just reiterated what I've said above as though you said something different, these companies are aware that the US state is willing to absorb the cost of their failed investments through the use of public capital. Whether or not there's some contrived reasoning for that decision is irrelevant to me and barely of interest to the people who would request bailouts. '08 was also nearly twenty years ago, and the performance behind neoliberal extraction from public funds is not even thinly veiled anymore.

It was also funny to read the section here that suggest that it would be ridiculous to consider socialized housing in response to a financial crisis caused by privatized housing almost exclusively. I don't think the comparison makes much sense, since OpenAI also does not benefit workers materially in the way that y'know, shelter does. I get you're trying to suggest that it is short-sighted, but it ends up demonstrating just how much of a precedent there is in the US of prioritizing corporate interests over the material interests of taxpayers.
