    Keep your eye on the ball: 100% of the profits must pay for universal healthcare.

        No AI company will ever make a profit.

        That’s no excuse for you to forget that human rights is our ultimate goal.

        Never take your eye off the ball. Vote for humans. Fight for human equality. 🏳️‍🌈

              Microsoft has shoehorned so much of their AI into it’s OS that it’s the same product.

              Whether this tanks their OS sales remains to be seen. But your site is trying to draw a line that no longer exists.

            Year over a year, those profits are plummeting.

            AI companies, themselves, have never made a profit

            Like AI, you’re hallucinating

              AI companies, themselves, have never made a profit

              Might as well say Internet Explorer has never turned a profit.

              They’re being incorporated into highly profitable software vendors and foisted on profitable businesses.

              Meanwhile, the companies producing the models are rapidly enriching their owners and early investors. That looks like profit to me.

          The thing is, their values are overstated. It’s a bubble economy. AI companies are racing for IPO specifically because they want to leave the public holding the bag when it finally crashes.

          I don’t want any stake in AI companies.

          Government sponsored public investment funds should focus on stable, long-term investments and basic essentials like utilities, telecom, housing, agriculture, etc.

          I would include healthcare and education in that list but I believe those things shouldn’t be monetized at all and should be entirely non-profit.

          But AI though is not a good investment. It only looks like one now because it’s a pump and dump. A ponzi scheme, even.

          I expected Bernie to be better than this…

      They need to be funding UBI with it too. Every time a company kills a job because of AI they need to be taxed and that should go to UBI.
