They get tax write offs from the government, as well as cities and states PAYING THEM to expand their empire.
They’re the biggest welfare queens.
I support seizing the health from billionaires.
itsa me, mario
Green Mario?
I don’t think there is any wealth there, just undeserved trust that allows them to raise money through debt.
If you seize that, then the debtors will come calling for higher risk premium and the venture implodes - sooner than they otherwise would.
So maybe it is a good idea anyway.
“5 more years, bro. I know I know, just 5 MORE years bro and we’ll have AGI on the moon bro, no idea how to monetize it but just 5 additional years bro!”
How the heck does this keep generating cash flow? Are investors really this stupid?
The problem is they over borrowed and dont make any money.
they have a bunch of assets. Doesn’t need to be cash
I support seizing the wealth from more industries than just AI
The US has already started with Tiktok.
Trump is in fact our most communist president.

I think “nationalist” is the word you’re looking for.
The Nazis did the same shit, and despite the name, they were not socialist.
Yea and no?
I just know it’s being handled by Oracle, does any money go to the state?
Looking it up, Bytedance still gets half the profit from TikTok and the rest is distributed to Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX, so, no, no profits are going into the US treasury.
And it’s also observed, capturing TikTok may just be the same move as the German Reich to turn media into a state-sanctioned mouthpiece. But I don’t know who determines the parameters of the TikTok algo.
I remember vaguely that algo was supposed to be in the hands of Oracle, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense.
What wealth? The AI industry is probably the most debt-laden venture in the entire history of currency, and has failed spectacularly and repeatedly to demonstrate any viable path to profitability. There’s no wealth to take, and there never will be.
Scrap the shit for parts or raw materials then. I’ll take $5 and the death of AI data centers any day.
I want the billionaires involved to be disgraced and stripped of their ill-gotten gains as well. Id est, accountability and justice.
If not that, 🪟🔪⚜️ and seizure of the assets, placed in the national treasury and used to fund social programs.
probably the most debt-laden venture in the entire history of currency
So our currency is working exactly as intended! :-P
Should probably just license them. They can pay for the license. $100 million/month, $1.19 billion if they get the whole year.
What wealth?

They can’t do anything if they aren’t spending VC money. LLMs are the most money burning corporate misadventure of all time.
lol who’s gonna seize it? Trump government? America is cooked. I’m starting to think America’s future is either going to be a very isolated authoritarian dystopia or state separation. No one likes each other and everyone argues over a the most simple things. Human rights, work rights doesn’t exist if you’re not filthy rich. Manipulation is so bad that if trump says the sky is green, tomorrow idiots are going to believe it’s actually green.
Idk man. I really wish they’d take billionaires monies and build houses hospitals but never going to happen.
Why stop at AI?
It has to start somewhere.
Yeah, America needs a wealth tax desperately.
I support seizing the wealth of all the wealthy.
They seize wealth from us
Trump accounts are now mandatory for all children born after 1/1/25. They were briefly optional and you chose if you wanted them while filing taxes
Trump accounts give the kid $1000 no strings attached and it’s loaded into an index (SPYM) made up of nvidia, apple, amazon, Microsoft, meta, tesla, micron, and alphabet class a (google).
On a surface read this is great, trump is giving free money to children for education planning.
But realistically it’s money laundering to fund their pump and dump. About 3.6-3.7 million children are born in the USA each year over the past few years (declining from a 2007 peak of 4.1). About 9% of those are undocumented, leaving about 3.25-3.3 million. This money isn’t free and doesn’t come from nowhere, it’s about 3.3 billion dollars of taxpayer money (yearly) to pump directly into AI companies and other grossly overvalued tech that’s propped up by making the overwhelming majority of retirement accounts contingent on its value (eg tesla)
In a typical 529 you have much more say in how investments are spread (with notable limitations) but the trump account is spym only.
Further, while 3.3 billion is barely anything in the scheme of the economy or even openais apparent (bloated) value, it’s to prime the pump to get more working class dollars in these companies. The 529 your child is given is essentially worthless if you make no contributions (at least in the context of education). Even maxing yearly contributions (5k/yr) from 0-18 with a prediction based on somewhat idealized returns would make the account worth ~$170,000 at 18, which is often not nearly enough to pay for college now, let alone in almost 2 decades. But it means a decent portion of Americans with children are pumping more of their cash into this bubble for their children’s education.
This is not even touching on the other gross things, like robinhood being the default and only servicer of these plans, which almost certainly is because of a fat bribe as they are the scummiest brokerage that preys on wallstreetbets gambler type retail investors.
Despite this it’s better than sending another 3 billion dollars of bombs for Israel to do genocide with, I guess
Where are you getting the information that they’re mandatory? Everything I can find shows them to be voluntary.
No way would someone just make things up on the internet would they?
From the Trump Account website:
You can elect to open a Trump Account for your eligible children using IRS Form 4547. You can fill out and submit the form right in the Trump Accounts app, when you file your taxes, or through the secure IRS website called Individual Online Accounts, or IOLA.
Nor can I find anything making them mandatory.
You’re correct, I had that wrong. I misread an article about https://www.ssa.gov/news/en/press/releases/2026-07-03.html lwhich implied automatic enrollment when applying for a newborns ssn, but technically you can still opt out. There is heavy pressure to make enrollment automatic though
It’s a trap. Open source / weight models will become mandated to pay for use locally. So we won’t be able to use local models for our own purposes and gain, while the big corporations simply pay a small percentage.
Hardware and software breakthroughs will make it possible to run LLM models and advanced AI on local, solar powered hardware. For example you can pack a ternary 27b model on a smartphone now.
In the best case, 50% will belong to the US empire. Which is controlled by the worst of the worst people on earth.
They seize our water and energy, so fuck em. They can explode for all I care, as can all the sell outs who work in them.
Also, please tell everyone you see that there is lots of copper in those data centers.
The wealthy will turn it into a bailout. The US government isn’t gonna ‘seize’ anything. They’ll “compromise” by buying the companies directly from the wealthy, and when it all comes crashing down the tax payers will be left holding the bag.
Doesn’t this just ensure they’re all “too big to fail” and we use tax dollars to jeep them afloat forever?
See an extended version of this take from Bruce Schneier. (He’s also going to spend awhile arguing for a public option on AI; something using the technology in an open way, respecting IP, and distributing the benefits.)
If the RIAA could get millions from kids downloading songs on Napster, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect that AI companies pay for the intellectual property that they have stolen from anyone who has ever posted anything on the internet?
Maybe AI companies can exist as long as they fund universal basic income.
Maybe AI companies can exist as long as they fund universal basic income.
That means they would need actually make money instead of just shuffling loans around. It’s a shell game, and the public is going to be left with empty pockets.
Lol
