This is a big announcement. There will be a TON of gov't subsidies of course.

Context: OpenAI had zero moat because open source models like DeepSeek R1 are beating OpenAI's expensive o1 (and doing it faster too).

Now with an unprecedented government subsidy, OpenAI will finally have a moat: compute power.

Government does not subsidize your home-run open-source LLM, but it will subsidize this giant corporation, so their "moat" will be doing the same thing faster & cheaper (because again, gov't subsidized THEM, not YOU)

And that's why Sam Altman was sucking up to Trump.

As George Carlin said...

It's a big club and you ain't in it!

Your taxes are literally subsidizing oligarch compute but not home compute.

Power consolidation=evil.

Land clearance, deregulations, grid availability, etc

Isn't the entirety of the 500 bil privately funded?

Umm no. No one is saying #1. Not sure why you're making up straw man.

Give the same energy also to the people, not just one single AI company who wants to be a monopoly.

Nooooo nuclear is unsafe. Don’t use energy. Climate change needs you to eat bugs.

Sure AI companies. We will fire up these old plants for you. Anything to get you cheaper energy.
