This is fine. Risking 3.5% of total GDP on developing AI slop will not cause the next Great Depression when the bubble pops, surely. (thelemmy.club)

The question is: how big is the bailout when it all goes to shit, and which companies get the bailout money?

The AI build-out is on track to become the biggest economic bet in US history... 3.6% of gross domestic product a year, on average. Never before has the US economy been so dependent on the build-out of a single industry

I wonder about the bailout side of this. Does the govt prop up the AI labs like openAI and Anthropic? It would protect a lot of their core supporters and largely allow the buildout to continue. That said this feels too big to properly bailout. I’d love to hear the perspective of someone who has more details around the financial side of this problem.
