Doesn’t seem like any funding was actually committed to anything at all by anyone.
The money will disappear into a hole, just like it does every time the US government invests into tech
Your taxes, straight into the pockets of Sam Altman and Larry Ellison.
We could do a lot for climate change, world hunger, homelessness, disease prevention and eradication, and so on with that much money.
All of these people are doing mass murder via opportunity cost, and I hope they pay for it.
No, we must first further enrich Larry Ellison. The man clearly doesn’t have enough money.
Big Tech dug a trillion dollar money pit, so obviously now their stooge has to fill it up with your money.
Trump is an investor, not a president.
No, he isn’t. He’s a scam artist and a con man. Always has been,and barely ever hid it.
Every single thing Trump does is about the grift.
Jesus fucking christ. Only four more years. I hope.
Watch them get rid of 22nd ammendment before project 2025 is done.
I’ve been worrying about that for a while now.
When has AI been for the benefit of the people more then a trinket to toy with.
It will benefit companies to streamline workflow (replace employees) and lock in patents at an alarming rate. Calling “First!” will cement decades of profit.
Oh, and don’t forget behavioral training. You thought invasive ads were bad now…
Fun times ahead! 😁
They’re building an AI Stasi.
500 billion… of H1B1 visas. Great work, MAGAs.
Better than Biden would do. He would give all 500 billion to Ukraine.
Most Ukraine funding is actually in the form of weapons, most of which have been sitting in warehouses in case of war with Russia. Now they get used before going obsolete and the US’s #1 rival is quickly becoming irrelevant without putting US soldiers at risk. We provide the weapons and Ukraine supplies the soldiers. I think we got the better side of that bargain.
This whole idea that the US is spending money abroad out of some kind of altruism or that we just let other countries take advantage is preposterous. It’s always money spent in furtherance of US interests. We are the wealthiest country in the world in large part because we exploit the labor and resources of the rest of the planet.
