    Fortunately not, as I enjoy the benefit of not being a US taxpayer. Well, it’s a great plan: First US citizens will pay for propping up the stock value of his company so the fun can continue a little longer, and then they pay again - at least trice over - when the AI bubble inevitably busts, and drags the entire US economy down with it.

    He’s about to be a really popular guy.

      And you fucking know Trump will be all in on this because he’ll be cut into any bailout money that gets tossed out there.

        Yes, I suppose claiming the AI service providers are ‘too big to fail’, despite having virtually no real customers, no significant revenue and them solving no real problems (but certainly creating plenty) would be just about the only way this whole debacle could possibly get any more idiotic. And it’s naturally a superb way to introduce a third step of making the US taxpayers hold the bag.

        So… Given how the 21st century has gone so far, that regrettably does seem rather plausible.
