What he means is the government will own 50%. And the money will be redistributed to career politicians

So they will just build elsewhere and all of our information will funneled through foreign servers.

It's like these people make up shite and then don't see a single consequence of it. Just like NAFTA.

I admit I initially defended Trump, but now that I see where Dems will take it, I say Trump needs to dump the stock and ban this practice.



This is the logic conservatives always use to do nothing. "We can't get rid of the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act and other necessary bills because the democrats might act badly in the future." The reality is that Democrats will act badly regardless of what Republicans do.

All you are doing with your fear of action is ensuring that nothing will ever change.

Reducing spending isn't going to reduce the debt enough for any substantial impact. Only bringing in more money will. And doing this by not taking more from America's workers is the most palatable approach.

You may not like it, but keeping the current system based solely on the hope that congress will reduce trillions in spending over decades is not a practical endeavor.

Since it's impossible to identify and compensate every person who has contributed to the data training AI, the most logical solution is to treat that knowledge as a resource that should be owned by all citizens.

I have no problem with citizens being shared the wealth of resources that benefit all of society. All it takes for a beneficial outcome to most is a little common sense and the courage to not continue down the same path.

I already have a few mill in AI stocks so this is really more to help the plebeian class like yourself. I’m just looking out for you little fellas.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not but this is exactly what Elon wanted AI to be which is why he's suing the shite out of GPT

He actually has some points. The CEOs of some of the largest AI companies are proposing this themselves

If these companies are publicly traded, Americans will own 100% of them, so what's the problem Bernie?


You realize non-Americans invest in American companies, right?

If Americans got a monthly check for the profits those data centers create (no idea how this would happen) then for once I don’t disagree with Bernie

So giving us stake in AI companies is somehow a bad thing now?
Theft is generally frowned upon, so yes.

Simping for AI companies simply aint it chief


Similar to the Intel deal---

If Trump comes out and says it's the right thing to do, they will be on board.

Bernie will say this until he finally owns an AI company.......just like he conventionally stopped saying that millionaires should be taxed more once he became one....
