"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why wouldn't another administration bail out the biggest AI company in the world headquartered in the US? They're literally more important right now than Lockheed, GM, JP Morgan and others they bail out. Trump is probably the only one that would MAYBE consider an alternative like xAI.
Political beef.
If Must was still Trump's BFF he would have prevented the bailout due to personal beef, but that's no longer an option.
Are they actually important though? They aren't even the only ones doing AI.
They're the biggest and most used, and marginally most advanced. Admittedly, Google, Anthropic, and xAI are never really far behind, and sometimes even temporarily get ahead (in model performance). But things are moving fast enough for that to be important. The international AI arms race is very important to the government. They want to make sure the world uses AI (which ingests the world's data) from American companies instead of Chinese.
