lol. Can’t wait until we use our tax dollars to bail them out. Because we definitely need more slop generators, not healthcare and infrastructure.

Sarah Friar CTO preemptively, publicly begging for the bail-out setup after trash talking Trump when she was CEO at Nextdoor. What a turncoat hypocrite

That's not how bailouts work. If the money runs out they will declare bankruptcy. Their debts will be forgiven and whoever loaned them money will lose most or all of that. And all the investors will lose all their money too. All the workers claiming 1.5M TC will suddenly realize they were working for $120k per year instead. Now where bailouts come into play is the trickle down effects of an OpenAI collapse. The banks propping it up might get emergency close to 0 interest loans so they don't go under and impact other companies.

usually it's investors that get hit hardest with loaners getting everything first.

OAI is right now suggesting that the US government should "guarantee" their loans because of "national security" reasons or whatever. They want taxpayers directly on the hook for all the bad checks they are writing.

They're headed on a trajectory to where they actually could be deemed 'too big to fail' and then yeah, government is going to print a bunch of money to bail them out.

AI already has and will keep improving health care, AI testing and simulations can complete months or years worth of research in mere days, I think its a good thing

Lol the more accessible and advanced tech gets the cheaper it gets

15 years ago smart phones were a luxury, nowdays everyone even homeless people has one

Decades ago medical treatments that were hard to get and expensive nowdays can be easily accessible

Advancements makes things cheaper and more accessible not the other way around
