Yeah, that's the thing!

God help us 🫠

Yup, you got it!

nah, but if you owe China 100 T then you are

This is the first time the '$100 billion' problem is also the '$100 billion solution.' When the 'debt' is the cost of building the primary weapon in the new global arms race (AI), the government doesn't just have the problem... it wants the problem. They're not asking for a 'bailout'; they're asking for a 'war bond.'

If you need Washington to guarantee your GPUs, congratulations... you’re a defence contractor now.

And if you owe $1 trillion or more, you have already cancelled food benefits for the poor, and midterms are right around the corner, that’s the people’s problem.

How do we turn this into a SaaS?

And $1trn?

What’s its credit score?😉

If you owe $100 Trillion, you are the Government

the lesson, borrow more 😭

If you owe the bank $1 trillion, that’s the taxpayer’s problem.

The framing of this as a financial problem misses the real dynamic at play. When infrastructure costs become this massive.. it's not about bailouts or guarantees.. but about whether a government sees strategic value in maintaining competitive positioning in a critical technology sector. The question isn't if OpenAI gets support.. but what conditions come attached and whether those conditions help or hinder the actual technological progress we need.

Robert Kiyosaki articulated this best in Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Debt is called 'leverage' for a reason.

Why does he look like a criminal in interviews? Screw it, we owe trillions we won’t ever pay back. Not sure how our dollar hasn’t collapsed. Let him borrow whatever.

As long as Government can print, then it's not even a problem

Wish I could get a government loan to buy a cluster of 5090 to run my LLMs in the corner of my room that I’ll never pay back.

To the choir 😉

Your comment couldn’t have been more spot-on.

sounds like a non-viable business model to me...

If you spend $100 on APIs, that's a cost. If you spend $100K on APIs, that's a dependency. If you spend $100M on APIs, that's someone else's business model. Different scale, same lesson: control infrastructure or get controlled by it.

When you owe $100, it’s “please return ASAP.” When it’s $100 billion, they’re sending fruit baskets to your yacht. Classic finance plot twist!

and crypto was born

moral of the story is leverage them to the point where they have to keep you afloat

“Free market”

Too big fail! OpenAi has dominated the Ai race

There is no ‘government problem’ There are broke tax payers

Can I do the same? 😂

Nope that’s not Capitalism.

If you offload your junk via IPO at $1Trillion, that's the entire world's liquidity problem.
