Our political and judicial systems are corrupt. War for profit. Keeping the population sick to fund pharma and the medical cartels. America as envisioned by the founders has been subverted. Big ag big food and the military industrial complex and tech pedophiles have taken control

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Postscript on where this goes, because someone already called it.

In March, hours after the Pentagon banned Anthropic and announced the OpenAI classified-network deal, Alex Karp stood on stage at the American Dynamism Summit and told Silicon Valley that taking everyone's white-collar jobs while refusing the military ends one way: nationalization. He was talking about this exact feud. He says he's spent six months calling AI executives to repeat the warning. Their response, per Karp: "Why would anyone nationalize us? We're so likable."

This month Bernie Sanders published the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act in the New York Times: a one-time 50% levy on the stock of OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, paid into a federal fund. Trump is reportedly open to government equity stakes. Karp's read: "In two years, they're not going to think Bernie Sanders is progressive. They're going to be like, 'Bernie Sanders, you only want 50%?'"

Here is the part Karp leaves out. You don't need to buy the company. An export control on a model is government control over who may use it, who may sell it, and who may look at it — the deemed-export rule already decides which of Anthropic's own employees can open the weights they built. Equity is the expensive way to nationalize. Licensing is the cheap one.

A socialist senator, a Republican president, and a defense contractor CEO now agree that the government should control AI companies. The remaining dispute is the percentage. As of June 12, for one company, the answer arrived: 100%, and they didn't even have to pay for it.

@DanielLMcAdams Its important that we can even ask this obvious question.

[.Seamus. @S3AMUSM8]

@CurtMills Oh. Yeah. Im not consuming that. It tells you exactly what it is. Refreshing to know. I dont have to spend one second figuring it out.
