      Tbf most US nationalization schemes are just bailouts. The car manufactures just had stocks purchased. Intel too.

      There is little appetite from corpo Dems and of course any Republicans for a forced seizing of assets.

      IMO the distinction doesn’t matter, as even the remnants of these companies are radioactive.

      I don’t mean that from an anti-AI angle, either. The people involved in them are sucking innovation into a black hole, on purpose. They’ve politicized AI by enshittifying it so quickly, without an ounce of shame. There is nothing to gain by seizing and nationalizing OpenAI/Anthropic, even if we miraculously stop a “bailout” and get rid of the leadership cleanly.

      Better to put what they have in the open and start over with a new entity.
