When one party in a negotiation describes the negotiations as “very successful,” it begs the question: Successful for whom? 🤔

Alex Karp from Palantir basically said this on CNBC this morning. This is not something I’m happy to be right about. 🫤
Calling it: The White House is going to try to nationalize Anthropic & OpenAI using “AI safety” as the excuse. Essentially a government bailout of the debt-ridden frontier labs in the guise of “national security.” Turning it into a faux Manhattan Project prevents Dems from legislating. This is bad.
