    All this money from where? Lol like aren’t these companies desperate to turn a profit? Are the investors cool with these companies just burning investor money for political spending? Or is that the point of AI, just a new excuse yo dump money into the austerity narrative

      It’s literal fake money. When you read news of Anthropic investing $400B in Google, do you think that’s “money” in the same sense it is for real people?

      Why do you think the investors are investing so much in said company? They want more, and buying a politician has, so far, had a pretty good ROI.

          Occasionally I have to do training at work where we learn not to take bribes. I’m sure it works wonderfully.

          At one point they give examples of bribes we should not take, and they’re always rubbish things like a free meal at a fancy restaurant. Nah I want some money, I want to be bribed properly.
