The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Speaking of AI....

This is what the CFO of Open AI said, before she started trying to walk it back. Nov 2025:

At the event, Friar said OpenAI is looking to create an ecosystem of banks, private equity and a federal “backstop” or “guarantee” that could help the company finance its investments in cutting-edge chips. But in a LinkedIn post late Wednesday, Friar softened her stance.

“I used the word ‘backstop’ and it muddied the point,” Friar wrote. “As the full clip of my answer shows, I was making the point that American strength in technology will come from building real industrial capacity which requires the private sector and government playing their part.”

Also, last November:

Sam Altman Says the Quiet Part: The Government Will Become AI’s Insurer of Last Resort

Altman calls AI too important to fail, highlighting growing national dependence on AI infrastructure across healthcare, defense, and finance.

Big AI knows it's leveraged out of it's skull. They know the slightest hiccup will bring them crashing down. They have already started laying the groundwork for a government bailout. Hope the Proles will be happy that their AI gods are picking their pockets, due to the "JC's" excesses.

Of course, if the big AI companies are "self-regulating" there is no third party to flag excessive leverage or risk.
