## Resource

Government eyes a slice of AI’s massive profits, with OpenAI possibly on the table for a stake to fund a “Public Wealth Fund” aimed at sharing AI’s gains broadly. This follows months of talks led by Sam Altman and echoes past proposals like Intel’s potential state stake. Senator Bernie Sanders’ bold plan—a 50% stock tax on AI firms—aims to democratize control and profits, sparking debate: some applaud the vision, others warn of creeping corporate-government fusion. Could this be the start of a government bailout for AI giants? The race to shape AI’s economic future is heating up fast. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
