Imagine the face when Microsoft and nVidia executives realize how fucked they are.

Then again, only the very last bagholder will suffer the most.

So...taxpayers after these companies get bailed out.

Taxpayers are already paying. These companies are defence contractors.

Well not Anthropic anymore because they refused to be part of the surveillance apparatus for Trump and fascism. So they had their contracts revoked today.

The nice thing is, it makes it easy to identify anyone who doesn't publicly stay they won't do it now and get fired, if they don't do that, then they are absolutely selling their LLM models and data to trump without any safety or security restrictions as that drunk Hesgeth and Trump made clear this week.

Open ai? Gemeni? Not a peep from them about wanting to keep your rights safe and no complaints from Hesgeth means they sold your constitutional rights off.

We must finally consume a few of them; it’s the only way they’ll learn. I propose we adopt the Ferengi’s method and sell vacuum-packed samples.

Certainly they are too big to fail.

That's why they'll keep throwing money at it. Just gotta survive one more day.

sounds like they just got a nice contract from the pentagon, that'll probably kick the can down the road a little longer

They've guaranteed a bail out with the Pentagon deal. Now they can claim they're critical national infrastructure when the AI bubble bursts.
