Okay but political leadership of the US are literally are staking the future of GDP on exactly those few AI companies... $1.4trillion so far while universal childcare would only cost $40 billion a year. It's a sick joke.

> political leadership of the US are literally are staking the future of GDP on exactly those few AI companies... $1.4trillion so far Can you explain where you get that number from? The information I have: a) The government took a nearly $9 billion stake in Intel to support its chip-making efforts. b) The Pentagon took a $400 million equity stake in MP Materials, a rare-earth miner. c) Sam Altman has advocated that the US government take equity stakes in AI companies. Sen Bernie Sanders wants the US government to take 50% stake in AI companies! Nothing has come of it though. d) Defense department AI contract value rose to $90.7B in 2026. So I'm super curious where you pulled that $1.4T number from.
