The government buying any stake in major AI companies would just be another bailout for failing businesses.

They only socialize the losses. So it's obvious they are doing this now that the bubble is popping. Imagine being jobless and forced to bear the weight of trillion of dollars in debt from failing ai companies.

Only a democratized economy will.
