And if that happens, will the taxpayer be on the hook to make investors whole? We shouldn't. If it is nationalized, it needs to be done at a small fraction of the private investment.
- criddell 11mo agoWhen the government takes your property with eminent domain, they don't give you what you've put into it or what you owe, they give you the market value for the property. If one or more of the AI companies fail, the government would pay what they feel is the market value for the graphics cards, warehouses, and standing desks and it will surely be way less than what the investors have put in.
