There's one problem with the idea of a bailout. What comes after?

Say, for the sake of argument, that the US government bails out OpenAI. Are they now suddenly not a money-burning operation anymore that will need another bail out in a period better measured in weeks?

The thing is just very unsustainable.

I'd kill my political career for the private sector rewards sure to follow.

I meant more for the party in charge than any particular individual but I see that was not clear.

Those companies are already roundly hated by the general voting public, so I agree.

The public generally doesn't like banks and investment firms either, but they had bailouts in the past.
