If you work through the scenarios, we're going to end up enacting heavy protectionism and stimulus on US AI companies to keep the economy from imploding. We could do this with stock in AI companies (like Bernie is pushing), but if the government pays for that stock it becomes a dump target paying out to oligarchs and the AI companies become "too big to fail." If the government owns the data centers, the people profit even if AI underperforms.

So we want to own the business, but because we don’t like the counter party we want to forcibly seize it rather than buying it?
