2 days agoI’ve said this before, but I’m not sure you can bail this out. TARP worked because the government could buy the toxic assets and the institutions that owned them previously would go back to being functional businesses. OpenAI and their ilk are money furnaces (I mean really, a literal money furnace would lose substantially less money). Bailing them out (to the tune of hundreds of billions) might buy time, but wouldn’t fix the fundamental issue that they’re… uhh money furnaces. You’d have to subsidize the businesses continuously, indefinitely into the future.
This is a goofy position. You’re doing the patriarchy’s job for them. You better believe people said this same shit about Obama being black, and you also better believe that a lot of racists voted for him anyway (we know this to be true). In practice this sentiment is indistinguishable from saying that you personally do not believe a woman should be president.
