   OpenAI and Anthropic should be nationalized. I find it difficult to trust Sam Altman or Dario Amodei.

      I find it even harder to trust elected leaders from any party. At least Sam and Dario are aligned with a value set that is understood and clear, whereas political leaders values changes as do the polls their livelihood depends on changes.

         How could we possibly know this?

            What do you think their value set is if not "gimme more money"? Seems pretty clear cut to me.

               "Number go up" is table stakes, it's how you keep track of the score well before you reach their level.

               However, that's like saying I'm motivated by food. I mean, yes, I like food, but this isn't a useful description to let you guess what move they'll make next, especially as they're opening opining about radical economic transformations that are likely to do to money what money did to real estate when the industrial revolution came.

               And that's still true even if you don't believe they're anywhere near actually achieving any of these things.
