Bernie Sanders unveils $7T plan to give Americans control of AI industry (arstechnica.com)

The mid-terms could really become about whether AI as a technology should be in the hands of the public/society or left to tech companies

Sanders' bailout plan for the AI bubble, of course the top models will still be partly or fully inaccessible to the taxpayers providing the bailout - this will be the final text of the law by the time (and if) this "plan" becomes law.

“financed through a one-time 50 percent tax on the stock of the largest AI companies”

Here's what bugs me: what guarantees that it stays a one-time tax? What guarantees that it is only on "the largest AI companies"? What keeps it from becoming "we'll take half of anything anybody has that we don't like"?

And what keeps me from becoming part of "anybody they don't like"?

So his plan is to just take what he wants from the people who built it? What the fuck. That’s not a plan. Why are these people incapable of making the world better on their own.
